Northwest Parkway's Operations Now Up to 75% Solar Powered
With the launch of two new solar panel sites, Northwest Parkway's operations will have up to 75% of its energy needs met by solar power, according to a spokesperson from the highway's operating company.
The parkway, which connects U.S. 36 and Interstate 25 and runs through Broomfield, is a toll road operated by VINCI Highways, said spokesperson Katie Farnan. The two new sites are part of the company's ongoing effort to power the highway's operations with cleaner energy, Farnan said.
The launch of the new sites, marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony Oct. 2, will add “147,000 kWh per year” to the road's solar production, and brings the parkway's operations to being up to 75% solar powered, according to the company.
