Juwi signs PPA with Tri-State for 500 MW of solar projects in Colorado

Juwi has contracted a PPA with Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association for four new solar projects in Colorado, along with one project yet to be constructed. The deal will result in more than 500 megawatts of emissions-free renewable resources.

The four Colorado solar projects to be added to Tri-State’s resource portfolio by the end of 2023 include:

• Axial Basin Solar, a 145 MW project in Moffatt County,
• Coyote Gulch Solar, a 120 MW project located in La Plata County,
• Dolores Canyon Solar, a 110 MW project located in Dolores County,
• Spanish Peaks Solar, a 100 MW project, and Spanish Peaks II Solar, a 40 MW project, located in Las Animas County.

The solar projects are part of Tri-State’s Responsible Energy Action Plan.

When completed, the four solar projects will provide enough generation to meet the electricity needs of over 165,000 households. Juwi will build, own and operate the projects under separate power purchase agreements with Tri-State.
