STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Altus Power (NYSE: AMPS), the largest commercial-scale provider of clean electric power, today announced the operationalization of a 1.4 MW rooftop solar project at the Blue Sport Stable sports facility in Superior, Colo., providing the majority of the facility’s annual energy needs required to power its ice rinks, pickleball, basketball and other courts, turf and health and wellness facility.
“Altus is thrilled to partner with Blue Sport Stable to energize our latest solar project in Colorado as part of our commitment to deliver clean, affordable, long-term power to local businesses ,” said Brett Phillips, Director, Investments & Structured Finance, Altus Power. “Through projects like this, and others across the state, we are delivering tangible benefits to local economies in the form of reduced energy costs and increased clean energy generation that will help to power Colorado’s current and future electricity needs.”
The rooftop solar array is located at the Blue Sport Stable facility, a 186,000 square foot multi-surface sports facility in Superior, Colo, and will reduce carbon emissions by 1,400 metric tons of CO2 annually and more than 49,000 metric tons of CO2 over the project’s lifespan.
