Guzman Energy, a wholesale power provider, says it is developing an 80 MW solar energy project approximately 3.5 miles southeast of Delta, Colo. Once complete, the project is expected to produce over 194,000 MWh of electricity a year.
Delta-Montrose Electric Association (DMEA), a member-owned and locally controlled rural electric cooperative, will directly purchase a portion of the energy produced by the plant, and Guzman Energy will offtake the rest. This is the first local renewable energy project developed in partnership with Guzman Energy since DMEA exited its power supply agreement with Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association in July 2020.
“When we started serving DMEA, we made a commitment to building local solar,” says Chris Riley, CEO of Guzman Energy. “The Garnet Mesa solar project, which will serve DMEA and other Guzman loads, demonstrates our promise to our customers. We will continue to tailor power solutions for our customers, leveraging both owned and contracted energy sources, to provide the communities we serve with affordable and reliable power.” |
