New solar plant to be built in Northern Colorado [View all]
A solar energy facility that will produce enough electricity to power 7,000 homes in Northern Colorado will soon be under construction north of Wellington.
Platte River Power Authority, a wholesale power generation company owned by Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont and Loveland, signed an agreement with Boulder-based Juwi Solar to develop, design, build and operate the 22-megawatt solar energy facility at the Rawhide Energy Station.
Design and construction should start this summer and be completed in late summer 2016, according to PRPA.
Once completed, the 185-acre solar farm will increase PRPA's renewable energy portfolio — wind, solar and hydropower — to about 30 percent of its total output, said Pete Hoelscher of Platte River Power Authority.
