Xcel’s Colorado Solar Farm to be Nation’s Largest
The Denver Channel reports that Minneapolis-based Xcel Energy has chosen Baltimore’s SunEdison to build a $60 million solar electric plant in Colorado, which is planned to be the largest solar power project in the country. The 8-megawatt solar farm is expected to go online by the end of 2007 and would be capable of powering 2,600 homes.
The plant is part of Xcel’s response to a Colorado initiative requiring utilities to generate at least 10 percent of their electricity with renewable sources by 2015.
