The project, set to be completed in October, will be the largest
solar array in the Yampa Valley Region and features bifacial solar
panels and single-axis tracker racking that follow the sun's
trajectory throughout the day for maximum electricity generation.
Following its integration into YVEA’s distribution system, the
array is designed to produce approximately 9.64 million kilowatt
hours annually—equivalent to the average annual electricity
consumed by more than 1,329 homes.
"We are thrilled to be a part of this renewable energy journey
alongside the regional communities this project will serve, and in
partnership with Yampa Valley Electric Association,” said Lou
Maltezos, Executive Vice President of Ameresco. “This collaborative
effort underscores our commitment to driving positive change
through sustainable solutions that not only benefit the
environment, but also contribute to the growth and prosperity of
the Yampa Valley region.”
"Yampa Valley Electric Association is proud to be part of this
landmark project that will create locally-generated electricity for
our communities,” said Steve Johnson, CEO of YVEA. “This initiative
perfectly aligns with our mission to provide reliable and
sustainable energy solutions to our stakeholders."
The clean energy generated from the project is designed to
mitigate nearly 130,321 metric tons of carbon dioxide over 20 years
of operation, equivalent to 29,000 passenger vehicles driven for
one year.
A celebratory media event was held on September 8, 2023, to mark
the dedication and completion of the project at the site of the
Yampa Valley Regional Solar Garden. Speakers from the City of
Craig, YVEA and Ameresco shared remarks about the impact of the
project on both the community and the environment as a whole.
“With the successful completion of this Yampa Valley Regional
Solar Garden, we are delighted to be taking such a significant step
towards a greener future for our community,” said Derek Duran, City
of Craig Mayor. “This project truly exemplifies our resolute
commitment to sustainable progress, and we are proud to be leading
this initiative alongside our regional partners, Ameresco and Yampa
Valley Electric Association.”
