Additional renewable power, clean energy jobs for Southern Colorado and savings for customers are among the benefits the expanded wind farm will generate for the region

PUEBLO, Colorado, Oct. 5, 2019 – Today, Black Hills Energy, along with Energy Outreach Colorado, NeighborWorks Southern Colorado, Pueblo County and the Colorado Energy Office will team up to help Minnequa Heights-Bessemer residents weatherize homes for the winter. As part of the effort, the Black Hills Energy-led group will host a Block Party to provide the broader community with energy efficiency education and weatherization materials.

The Electric Energy Team meets with local businesses to share knowledge about energy efficiency, encourages them to participate in rebate and incentive programs such as a no-cost lighting assessment and the direct install of free energy saving measures such as new LED light bulbs, faucet aerators or pre-rinse sprayers. 

Black Hills Energy announced today it has issued a request for proposals for the development of 2.5 megawatts (MW) of additional community solar projects to serve its Southern Colorado customers. This offering includes 500 kilowatts (kW) of renewable energy capacity dedicated to serving low-income customers.
