Durango Herald: Renewable energy projects in Southwest Colorado to receive grants

More than $177,000 in grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture have been provided to Colorado clean energy projects.

Shaw Creek LLC, Solar Garden Partners 1 LLP, Solar Power Partners LLC and Mountainmesa Inc. are the grant recipients.

"By supporting renewable energy and energy efficiency developments, the [U.S. Dept. of Ag.] program says on its website, it hopes to increase the supply of energy available locally and decrease demand for energy through increased efficiency. The renewable energy grant can be used for projects including biofuel, solar, wind, geothermal, hydrogen or ocean power, but in Southwest Colorado, most of the grants are planned to be used developing solar power."
