Platte River Power Authority is sharing details for the first time about the Black Hollow Solar project, a 150-megawatt facility planned to begin producing power in 2023.
Black Hollow Solar is going through the permitting process in Weld County, where it would occupy 1,000-1,400 acres northeast of Black Hollow Reservoir. The site is a few miles from the Weld-Larimer county line. The permitting process will determine the exact location for the project and when construction can begin.

The facility would be the biggest solar field in Northern Colorado, with five times the capacity of Platte River s largest existing solar project. Platte River provides power to Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont and Estes Park and is working toward a tentative goal of 100% noncarbon energy by 2030, though its recently adopted Integrated Resource Plan indicates it may fall short of the goal. Black Hollow Solar would get the power provider to the halfway point.
