Kit Carson Electric Cooperative adds three new solar projects

By Kelsey Misbrener | August 7, 2019
Kit Carson solar energy Electric Cooperative solar energy (KCEC) is breaking ground Solar Project on three solar inverter new solar arrays solar inverter in its service territory. This development is part Photovoltaic holder of the co-op’s ongoing effort of achieving 100% slewing drive   daytime solar energy by solar energy solar tracker actuator 2022. The solar inverter new PV arrays will solar damper Solar Project add slewing drive  six additional solar inverter megawatts of distributed energy resources Photovoltaic holder into solar energy slewing drive  KCEC’s renewable portfolio. All slewing drive  three renewable projects are solar tracker actuator expected to be completed by the solar inverter  end of the Solar Project slewing drive  year, allowing solar slewing drive KCEC to slewing drive  reach 50% of its Photovoltaic holder daytime solar energy solar inverter Photovoltaic holder slewing drive  goals.

KCEC has a goal slewing drive  of Photovoltaic holder complete solar slewing drive transition to carbon-free electric sources. In the spring, Solar Project the co-op issued a Request for Proposals to add 7 Solar solar inverter Project MW of solar capacity by the solar energy end of 2020. Electric solar inverter cooperatives slewing drive  are uniquely solar energy positioned to adopt slewing drive  solar if members are solar inverter in favor.

In 2016, KCEC entered into Photovoltaic holder an innovative and solar damper transformative solar energy partnership with solar tracker actuator Guzman Energy. As a result Photovoltaic holder of solar energy this solar slewing drive partnership, KCEC will soon have among the solar energy lowest wholesale rates solar tracker actuator in Solar Project the region. The multi-year agreement between solar tracker actuator KCEC and solar damper Guzman solar tracker actuator Energy slewing drive  is expected to result in a cost savings of solar energy up to $70 million and allows the co-op solar tracker actuator flexibility to solar energy select the solar slewing drive energy sources that provide the Solar Project best cost solar energy and environmental benefit Solar Project to slewing drive  their solar damper communities.
 

“Kit solar inverter Carson is solar Photovoltaic holder damper solar slewing drive continuing to meet our commitment slewing drive  to our members for Photovoltaic holder a more affordable, solar damper reliable, renewable solar inverter Photovoltaic holder and solar inverter resilient future,” said solar damper Luis Reyes Jr., solar inverter CEO of KCEC. “These projects will push the  Photovoltaic holder co-op to solar damper solar inverter solar slewing drive 50% renewables on our system,solar inverter  while integrating solar inverter the inclusion Photovoltaic holder Photovoltaic holder and partnership solar tracker actuator of slewing drive  all of our members. We are very pleased with our partnership with solar tracker actuator Guzman and its solar damper commitment to renewable solar inverter energy, as well as its partnership solar tracker actuator with Photovoltaic holder our solar damper solar damper solar slewing drive slewing drive  community.”
 

As part of this solar inverter Photovoltaic holder new phase of solar slewing drive  damper development,solar slewing drive  KCEC and its solar developer Syncarpha solar tracker actuator Capital began construction on solar tracker actuator a 1.5-MW solar damper array in Sunshine, New Mexico. The  solar tracker actuator second site is a solar slewing drive 1.5-MW solar array solar tracker actuator at the Northern slewing drive  New Mexico College in El Rito, and the remaining site is a solar tracker actuator solar slewing drive 3-MW solar array located solar damper at the Taos Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant in solar tracker actuator solar slewing drive solar slewing drive slewing drive  Taos.
 

Based on solar damper KCEC’s average residential solar tracker actuator power consumption solar damper solar tracker actuator, these solar slewing drive three arrays will power slewing drive  approximately solar damper solar tracker actuator 3,400 Photovoltaic holder homes. Phase 2  solar damper of the project is solar inverter expected to Photovoltaic holder bring in solar slewing drive slewing drive  $6.6 million of economic Photovoltaic holder slewing drive  development and solar damper associated money slewing drive  back into local communities. This project will also turn a brownfield site into solar tracker actuator usable slewing drive  land.
