Project Information
RWE Solar Development, LLC (RWE) is seeking your comment and input on the proposed South Park Battery Storage Project (the Project). RWE is proposing to construct a 200-megawatt (MW) battery energy storage system (BESS) and an approximately 0.33-mile transmission line connecting to the existing Hartsel Substation. The Project is located west of Route 9 and approximately 2.5 miles south of Garo, Colorado.

The Project would encompass approximately 20 acres of privately-owned land in Park County, Colorado.
