Platte River Power Authority signs PPA for 150 MW of new wind power capacity → February 05, 2018 by Dwayne De Freitas in Energy Colorado is a windy place. Let's make use of that. “More than 30 percent of the electricity currently supplied to Platte River’s owner municipalities comes from carbon-free resources (hydro, wind and solar). This amount ranks among the highest levels provided by wholesale electric suppliers in the Rocky Mountain Region and is about twice the national average. By adding the 150 MW of wind power in late 2020, Platte River could achieve a 48 percent carbon-free energy portfolio for its customers.” — -Robin Whitlock
