Connecticut-based Altus Power has added 2.5 megawatts of operational solar projects in Colorado, the commercial-scale power provider said Sept. 12.
Power generated by the ground-mounted systems will benefit local municipalities, including the city of Pueblo, Pueblo Community College and the Pueblo County School District, the company said.
The Blackstone-backed company is generating the power through its Altus Power Community Solar program, which is a part of the Black Hills Energy Colorado community solar program.
“Community solar provides enterprises, homeowners and renters of diverse income brackets with the benefits of clean energy savings in the form of discounts on their utility bills without requiring customers to install or maintain their own solar panels,” Altus said in a news release.
Combined, the projects are expected to offset the equivalent of nearly 54,462 metric tons of carbon emissions over their lifetimes, according to Altus.
