The award increases Pivot’s Colorado community solar portfolio to nearly 50 MW, making them the top community solar developer in the state for total MWs of approved capacity and total number of projects.
The 25 MW will be generated by 13 individual projects located across Xcel Energy’s service territory, available for any Xcel Energy customer to subscribe to, including residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural customers.
Subscriptions from the 25 MW portfolio will be managed through SunCentral, Pivot’s proprietary community solar customer management interface.
“Colorado’s energy generation mix is quickly changing to a more decentralized and cleaner model. Pivot is thrilled to be able to work with Xcel Energy as a major contributor to that transformation,” said Jon Sullivan, Vice President of Project Development for Pivot.
As part of Pivot’s commitment to Colorado’s local communities, the company will donate significant scholarships towards student tuition for renewable energy-related topics of study. The company will also offer local K-12 schools and higher education institutions tours of completed community solar projects and plans to offer a solar internship program beginning in 2020.
