Colorado Cooperatives Increase Solar Portfolios
Two Colorado electric cooperatives are adding to their renewable energy portfolios by constructing solar arrays expected to generate a maximum of 3 MW of solar power for their member-consumers. United Power, Inc.’s 2-MW solar array was brought online last week, and San Miguel Power Association, Inc.’s (San Miguel) 1-MW “community” solar array will begin operations by the end of the year. Additionally, the San Miguel array is currently the country’s largest community-owned solar project, and it will allow customers to purchase the solar panels at a price of $700 each.
