Deriva Energy has commenced commercial operation at Pike Solar in El Paso County, Colo., which is set to provide energy to Colorado Springs Utilities through a 17-year PPA.
Pike Solar, located on 1,310 acres south of Colorado Springs, has a 175 MW capacity and is the first solar plant under commercial operation under the new Deriva banner.
“We are grateful for the support of the local community, state stakeholders, and our dedicated team for bringing this solar plant to completion,” says Chris Fallon, Deriva Energy president. “This is a critical step closer to achieving Colorado Springs Utilities’ sustainable energy goals and look forward to powering homes and businesses with new, clean electricity.”
JUWI completed the development, engineering and construction of the project and will provide operation and maintenance services for Pike Solar. Deriva Energy will own the plant and share operations and maintenance responsibilities with JUWI.

Examining the Concept of “Generational Wealth”

No Decent American Wants to Hear Our President Refer to the People of Other Countries as “Garbage”
I believe the subject matter of the video here will ultimately play a large contributing factor to bringing down Trump. His referring to Somalis as “garbage” and his doubling down on it here is abhorrent to most Americans.
Yes, his racist MAGA base is cheering him on for his demonization of people from a poor country with black skin, but most Americans can see that this comes directly from the is the playbook of all fascist leaders.

Concept in Small Wind
Here’s a concept in small wind for readers to check out. A few points:
It’s not new. A few years ago, there was a nearly identical idea that came and went, when investors came to understand that this concept, as all the others, were dead in the water.
They have an “axial flux generator.” Really? Having we all seen “Back to the Future?” Making up technobabble like the “flux capacitor” gets laughs, but that’s about it.
The fact that climate change poses a huge threat doesn’t mean that every yo-yo idea in renewable energy makes sense.
There is a reason, based on physics, that vertical axis wind turbines are not competitive with their horizontal counterparts and do not exist in the enormous industry of wind energy.
The wind conditions on our roofs are impeded by trees and neighboring buildings. That’s the reason that wind farms are located in remote areas with incredible wind resources. No one would like to live in a place like Tehachapi, California with gale-force winds.
The spokesperson’s idea that he’s raising investor capital to engineer the product because “you to have the recipe before you bake the cookies” is catchy, but this is a recipe that clearly cannot exist.
