Large Solar Plant Begins Operating At Colorado State University.

The AP (2/1) reports, "Colorado State University says a 5.3-megawatt solar plant on its Foothills Campus in Fort Collins has started producing electricity." The plant is owned and operated by Fotowatio Renewable Ventures, "and CSU is buying power produced by it at a fixed rate for 20 years. Xcel Energy is buying renewable energy credits from the plant, which CSU says helped offset construction costs." The university says "the project is one of the largest at a US university."\
