German developer Juwi is to build four new solar farms in Colorado with a combined capacity over 500MW for Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association.
The projects are the 145MW Axial Basin, 140MW Spanish Peaks 1&2, 120MW Coyote Gulch and 110MW Dolores Canyon developments.
They will be added to Tri-State’s power supply portfolio by the end of 2023.
The solar farms are part of Tri-State’s Responsible Energy Action Plan.
Juwi will build, own and operate the projects under separate power purchase agreements with Tri-State.
Contracts terms have not been released.
Juwi Group chief operating officer Stephan Hansen said: “We are very much looking forward to implementing these projects for Tri-State and appreciate the trust placed in our experienced team and our work.
“The solar market in the USA is growing. More and more energy suppliers increase their regenerative generation capacities as part of decarbonization plans.
“Juwi is well positioned to participate in the increasing demand for inexpensive and climate-friendly solar energy.”
