Sunrise 10 January 2019 BNSF WY/CO State Line
Author: cozephyr

BNSF's C-ATMPRR0-03a to Platte River Power Authority Rawhide Energy Station north of Wellington, CO, passed the Colorado/Wyoming state line near Terry Bison Ranch 10 January 2019.

The Platte River Power Authority Board of Directors action today (6 December 2018) formalized the path we have been on for some time,” said Frisbie. “Approximately 32 percent of the energy we deliver to our owner communities comes from non-carbon resources and, by 2020, about 50 percent of our energy will come from non-carbon resources.

”To reach the 50 percent non-carbon mark, Platte River will begin to take the output from a 150 megawatt wind farm that will be built in southern Wyoming, under a power purchase agreement with NextEra Energy that was signed earlier this year. In addition, Platte River plans to install an additional 20 megawatts of solar energy capacity at its Rawhide Energy Station located near Wellington (Colorado). Longer term planning to achieve the 100 percent objective is currently taking place within Platte River’s integrated resource planning (IRP) process.

Not sure which windfarm they are speaking of, butbthe only one being talked about in he Sierra Madres has been stuck in idle for some time (an Anshultz project).

The windfarm south of Cheyenne has been idle for a year now and the one west of Medicene Bow at Como is also for sale..
