Denver Selects Partners for Equity Driven Community Solar Garden Project
The City and County of Denver will
host up to 15 MW of community solar gardens on municipal rooftops, over parking lots, and vacant land as part of a signed Master Services Agreement with McKinstry, GRID Alternatives, and Unico Solar Investors. The project is
part of the Renewable Denver Initiative, which is supported by a $1 million grant from the Colorado Department of
Local Affairs.
The project will help the City move closer to reaching the goals set in its 100% Renewable Electricity Action Plan. It will center on equity and
the economy. At least 10 percent of the solar power generated will be

allocated to low- and moderate- income residents, reducing their electric bills. The project will also create a paid training program
and employ nearly 20 Denver residents during construction. The training program will be managed by GRID Alternatives, a national leader in making renewable energy technology accessible to low-income and under-resourced communities.
The City expects that the project site selection, design, and submissions to Xcel Energy for approval will be complete by early 2021. The systems are expected to be operational by 2022.
