Constellation Energy to Add 4.4 MW of Solar Power at Denver International Airport

BALTIMORE, Sep 14, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- 


Constellation Energy (CEG 31.06, -0.18, -0.58%) and Denver-based Oak Leaf Energy Partners announced today the development of a new 4.4 megawatt solar installation at Denver International Airport (DIA). Constellation Energy will finance, own and operate the solar installation and DIA will purchase the electricity produced by the system from Constellation Energy over a 20-year period. Intermountain Electric (IME) plans to begin construction of the project--the largest customer-sited solar photovoltaic installation in Colorado--in the fall of 2010 with completion expected by early 2011. This is the third large scale solar project for DIA, with the airport having commissioned a 2 MW installation in 2008 and a 1.6 MW facility commissioned in early 2010, both installed and managed by Intermountain Electric. Yingli Green Energy (YGE 11.78, +0.02, +0.17%) will supply the photovoltaic panels for the project.
