In 2011 Kit Carson Electric Cooperative Inc, was awarded a $63.8M Fiber to the Home (FTTH) grant /loan combination. $44M USDA Grant and $19.8M RUS Loan to develop and implement fiber to every member it serves in Northern New Mexico. Following a true Cooperative model to serve the under served and un-served, Kit Carson Electric along with Kit Carson Technologies as of May 2015 is 98% complete with FTTH deployment. This deployment encompasses over 2,951 square Miles of direct fiber, which will serve 29 communities, nearly 20,500 households, 3,600 businesses, and 183 critical community institutions as well as two Native American Pueblos. Additionally, Kit Carson Electric Cooperatives fiber deployment will greatly increase efficiency within its electric grid allowing full utilization of "meter modernization" also known as smart metering.
