Platte River Advances Clean Energy Goals in Northern Colorado

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Platte River Power Authority (Platte River), the not-for-profit public power provider for Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont, and Loveland, announced significant strides in its commitment to a 100% noncarbon energy future. The utility’s Board of Directors unanimously accepted the 2024 Annual Report on Thursday, April 24, highlighting key milestones in their ongoing energy transition efforts for Northern Colorado.

Since the adoption of the Resource Diversification Policy in 2018, Platte River has been actively working towards a sustainable and environmentally responsible energy mix for its four owner communities and future generations. The 2024 report underscores the tangible progress made in this crucial transition.

“I am proud of the progress that we have made and the hard work of our dedicated employees and our board,” stated Jason Frisbie, General Manager and CEO of Platte River. “As we move toward 2030, we are adding over three million megawatt-hours of renewable energy onto our system, enough to provide most of the energy our four owner communities need.”
