Platte River Power Authority restores cooling reservoir, reducing maintenance costs and improving wildlife habitat
Platte River Power Authority, Fort Collins, Colo., rated one of the 10 best-utilized electrical generating facilities in the United States, puts a premium on cost-efficient electric energy and environmental responsibility. One example of Platte River’s stewardship is a project at its coal-fired Rawhide Energy Station to improve water quality in the cooling reservoir and reduce associated operating costs. Working with Medora Corporation, Platte River officials found that solar-powered SolarBee® mixers helped restore the 500-acre reservoir’s water quality, replacing other less-than-successful attempts such as high-powered aeration and copper sulfate.
