Diana Drysdale, president of PSEG Solar Source, “We're pleased to partner with Platte River Power Authority to bring emission-free energy to its customers and in helping Colorado achieve its renewable energy goals. By investing in solar projects like this one, we at PSEG are doing our part to lay the foundation for a clean, green and economically vibrant energy future for everyone.”
PSEG Solar Source has a 25-year power purchase agreement in place with Platte River — a wholesale generation and transmission provider.
juwi developed the installation and served as its engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor. The project is comprised of around 117,000 polycrystalline panels.
The Rawhide Flats project has been in startup mode for the past week and should begin commercial operations soon.
