DENVER, USA: Denver-based SunShare announced it has contracted with Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District to provide Water World, the largest community owned water park in the country, and its other district properties with 1.4 megawatts of clean, reliable energy from its Adams County Community Solar Garden.
This is among the largest Community Solar deals to be signed between a Community Solar developer and a consumer. SunShare is one of the nation's first Community Solar providers.
"We are proud to be part of this Solar Garden with SunShare," said Harlan Bryant, District engineer for Hyland Hills Park & Recreation District. "It is a win, win, win situation. We're helping Xcel Energy meet its renewable energy requirements; we're helping SunShare, a Colorado company, create jobs here in Colorado; and the District is saving money on our electricity bills." Water World just celebrated its 35th summer in Denver.
Not only an environmental decision, but also an economic one, Hyland Hills will fix part of the District's energy costs at today's levels, protecting it from volatile fossil fuel prices. SunShare will be providing 1.4 megawatts to help power the recreation district and Water World, the equivalent of powering over 300 homes for 20 years.
