South Park Battery Energy Storage Project – In-Person Public Open House
RWE Renewables 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.
RWE will prepare a Park County Conditional Use Permit for the Project in accordance with Article 5 of the Park County Land Use Regulations. If approved, the Project would be expected to begin construction in the Summer of 2026 with a commercial operation date in the Winter of 2027. The Project would encompass approximately 20 acres of privately-owned land in Park County, Colorado.
This will be an informal opportunity for the community to learn about the Project, visit with the RWECE team, and provide comments. Information will be on display and light refreshments will be provided. No formal presentation is planned for this event.
