Platte River Power Authority, which serves Fort Collins, Loveland, Estes Park and Longmont, is planning its first large-scale battery storage system.

Alliant Energy's Pleasant Creek Solar field is now online, generating 200 megawatts of energy and powering 40,000 homes.

After rejecting the plan last year, the Dickinson County Board of Adjustment has approved the 300 megawatt clean energy project.
