Platte River signs PPA for 20 MW solar PV project in US
Platte River Power Authority plans to install 20 megawatts of new solar power capacity at its Rawhide Energy Station.
Following an open house with neighboring property owners in mid-January 2019, Platte River has signed a power purchase agreement with partners GCL New Energy and DEPCOM Power and submitted an application with Larimer County planners to obtain needed site permits for the proposed facility. County planners will review plans and make recommendations to county leaders regarding permits before final decisions are made.
The proposed 20 megawatt solar facility will feature a 2 MWh battery storage system and complements the 30 megawatt Rawhide Flats Solar installation that was completed in 2016. If permits are approved by late spring, construction activities could begin in the summer 2019 and conclude in early 2020, when the project will begin delivering energy to Platte River.
