Leading renewables
In Colorado
We have 150 MW of installed wind energy capacity at our Busch Ranch, Busch Ranch II and Peak View wind facilities in Southern Colorado.
Advancing clean energy
For over a decade, we have been modernizing our electric system and growing our renewable energy portfolio to build one of the newest and cleanest energy grids in Colorado, fueled by wind, solar and natural gas generation. We have 150 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy on our Colorado system and a plan underway to potentially add up to 200 MW of additional renewable energy resources. If approved by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, the plan, "Renewable Advantage," could result in approximately 65% of our Colorado Electric customers' energy usage produced from carbon-free resources by 2023.
In Wyoming
We have 60 MW of wind energy on our Wyoming system and are in the process of constructing an additional 52.5 MW of wind energy in partnership with our South Dakota electric utility.
Renewable Ready
Our Renewable Ready program in Wyoming was created specifically to provide large commercial and industrial customers the option of fulfilling up to 100 percent of their electricity needs with low-cost utility-scale renewable energy resources direct from Black Hills Energy. In addition to this program, we are committed to finding renewable energy solutions for our largest customers, whether that would be through expanding our Renewable Ready program, securing renewable energy from third parties or acquiring renewable energy credits on their behalf.
