The Delta County, Colo., Board of Commissioners unanimously approved on Aug. 17 a large-scale solar project on the state's Western Slope after rejecting it just five months earlier.
When complete, the 80-MW Garnet Mesa Solar Project on 383 acres on a former ranch southeast of Delta will be the largest solar farm on the Western Slope of the Rocky Mountains west of the Continental Divide, and the largest “agrivoltaic” installation in Colorado.
