One of the Western Slope’s largest solar power generation stations and battery energy storage project is gearing up to flip the switch this fall on the grounds of Colorado Mountain College’s Spring Valley campus east of Glenwood Springs.
Representatives from renewable energy company Ameresco are set to join with Holy Cross Energy (HCE) and CMC officials for a ribbon-cutting event from 1-2 p.m. Wednesday at the Ascent Center on the Spring Valley campus, 3000 County Road 114.
The event will conclude with vehicle tours of the solar and storage site located on CMC land near the campus, a CMC news release states.
