Located in Colorado’s San Luis Valley, Solar of Alamosa is a 34-megawatt photovoltaic solar generation system originally built in 2012. Following an unexpected, accelerated degradation of its specialized solar collection system, the project was acquired in 2022 by Whetstone Power and an affiliate of Rosemawr Sustainable Infrastructure Management to extend the project’s lifespan and improve performance.
Financing provided by Enhanced Capital supported the repowering effort through the installation of modern solar panels, inverters, and wiring while retaining high-performing components like trackers and transformers. Upgrades to the project’s 504 dual-axis towers were made in phases to ensure continuous clean energy generation. Once fully repowered, the project is expected to generate over 83 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy for off-takes in its first year of operation.
