site is expected to be one of the largest solar installations at a
U.S. university and is projected to produce more than 10 percent of
the electricity required to power the Foothills Campus. The project
is the result of a unique, public-private partnership between CSU,
Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV), a premier independent power
producer, and Xcel Energy, a leading regional utility supplier.
AMEC, an international engineering and project management company,
is constructing the solar array. The facility started producing
power in early December and is expected to be fully commissioned
early in 2010. Dr. Hans Betz, president and CEO of Advanced Energy,
noted, "We're proud to be working with these leading companies
developing solar energy solutions to deliver clean, renewable
energy to the Foothills Campus. We are confident that by delivering
the highest efficiency available, our Solaron inverters will
provide the maximum power harvest and the lowest levelized cost of
energy (LCOE). CSU's leadership in renewable energy is a great
example for other universities and businesses across the country."
