Colorado State University plans to add a 3.3-megawatt solar farm that could be generating power by Christmas, if all goes according to plan.

The university already has a 2-megawatt solar facility on its Foothills Campus west of Fort Collins that generates about 10 percent of the power needs on that campus.

A private company would build and own the 14-acre solar farm, and Xcel Energy would sell the power back to the university at a fixed price for 20 years. Chase says the project would save the university at least several million dollars over time.
