Guzman Energy signs PPA with Primergy Solar for 155 MW Hesperus Solar Project
Guzman Energy has signed a PPA with Primergy Solar for energy from the proposed 155 MWac Hesperus Solar Project. Hesperus, located in La Plata County on Colorado’s western slope is capable of serving the energy needs of nearly 56,000 homes annually.
“This agreement is an important milestone for our plans to expand our energy supplies to meet customer demand for reliable, affordable, clean energy on the Colorado western slope and in New Mexico,” said Chris Riley, CEO Guzman Energy. “We will continue to mobilize projects that deliver cheaper, better energy for our customers and their communities.”
The 1,500 acres Hesperus will create more than 350 construction and permanent jobs, as well as other economic development benefits such as tax revenues, educational opportunities, and local investment. The project is expected to be operational by the end of 2023.
“We are proud to play a role in this innovative approach to bringing solar energy to Coloradoans who want cleaner air, water and soil,” said Primergy CEO, Ty Daul. “Primergy believes that carefully sited solar farms will power a brighter future and produce healthier economies throughout the Mountain West.”
