ContourGlobal’s First Renewable Energy Facility in the U.S. Comes Online in Colorado

  • Black Hollow Sun I (185 MWp), the first phase of a larger solar project, starts delivering electricity to Platte River Power Authority.
  • ContourGlobal is also constructing the second phase of the project, BHS II, which will add 139 MWp and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.

Together, BHS I and BHS II will constitute the largest photovoltaic installation in Northern Colorado, with an expected annual production of nearly 608 GWh of clean electricity—enough to power more than 73,000 homes.
