Gila River Indian Community Utility Authority Sponsors HBM Racing
The Gila River Indian Community Utility Authority’s (GRICUA) mission is to manage the electrical and energy needs of the Gila River Indian Community. GRICUA strives to provide reliable, competitively priced electrical service to all areas of, and contiguous to, the Gila River Indian Community.
GRICUA was formed in 1998 to serve the Community's Wild Horse Pass Casino. In 2008, the Gila River Indian Community Council approved the 638 Contract for GRICUA to assume responsibility for maintaining & operating the SCIP electric system on the Gila River Indian Community Reservation. In 2018, all SCIP residential and commercial customers were transferred to GRICUA. GRICUA's electric system consists of 10 substations, 95 miles of 69 kV transmission lines and 425 miles of 12 kV distribution lines. GRICUA purchases wholesale power from various generating sources and in turn delivers it to over 3400 customers.
Gila River Utility Authority’s Goals:
To own and operate the electrical distribution system serving the entire Gila River Indian Community.
To actively oversee and be directly involved in operating the electrical transmission systems located on the Gila River Indian Community.
To explore electrical generation opportunities within the Community, given the Community's strategic location.
To develop a plan and methodology for the allocation of CRSP preference power.
Youth Programs:
GRICUA is committed to providing opportunities and organized activities for the youth in the Gila River Indian Community. We offer the STEAAAM Summer Program for middle schoolers, the Washington Youth Tour for high school juniors, High School and College Summer Internships and the Youth Board Intern for students between the ages of 16-25.
