Primergy Solar plans to build 155 MW Hesperus solar project in Colorado

Primergy Solar Management has submitted its initial permit application to La Plata County, Colorado for the proposed 155 MWac Hesperus Solar photovoltaic project located in the state of Colorado, USA. 

The Hesperus Solar Project is proposed to be located on about 1,900 acres in La Plata County on the Western Slope. The project includes 1,600 acres of private property and 320 state-owned acres located on Fort Lewis College’s Old Fort at Hesperus Campus. The College and Primergy have entered into a solar energy planning lease to evaluate the suitability of those 320 acres for hosting a portion of the project.

The permitting process timeline will be dictated by La Plata County and will include multiple open houses and public comment periods. The initial permit application addresses some early community questions and comments shared with Primergy prior to the filing.
