Colorado community-owned public power utility Platte River Power Authority (Platte River) and Qcells broke ground on northern Colorado’s largest solar generation project.
Black Hollow Solar spans nearly 1,400 acres northeast of the Black Hollow Reservoir near Severance, Colorado. The first phase of the project will deliver about 367,000 MWh of energy annually to Platte River’s owner communities of Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont, and Loveland. Phase two of Black Hollow Solar will add an additional 107 MW of capacity, bringing the total project to 257 MW and increasing Platte River’s total solar capacity to 309 MW.
