In order to meet the growing demand for electrical power because of increased new data centers in Colorado, one electric cooperative built a new gas plant in 20 months in the northeast part of the state.
The 162 MW Mountain Peak Power Plant, located about 35 miles northeast of Denver, was built by electric cooperative United Power.
“I have been in this business for more than three decades, and I can tell you, I have never seen a project get done so quickly,” said Mark Gabriel, the chief executive of United, at the celebration of the plant’s completion on Aug. 28, reported Big Pivots.
