Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association announced on Tuesday its purchase of renewable projects in western Colorado. The not-for-profit wholesale power supplier has closed on the purchase of two solar projects. “Axial Basin Solar is a 145-megawatt project in Moffat County in member White River Electric Association’s service territory. The project is on land near the Colowyo Mine, which will end production later this decade. Dolores Canyon Solar is a 110‐megawatt project located in Colorado’s Empire Electric Association’s service territory.” Both solar projects are scheduled to begin delivering power for Tri-State’s member systems in late 2025. Financial terms of the acquisitions were not released.
