How dispatchable resources enable the clean energy transition

Platte River must prepare for the retirement of 431 megawatts (MW) of dispatchable, coal-fired generation by the end of the decade and address more frequent extreme weather events that can bring dark calms (periods when there is no sun or wind).

For Exempla, he will be tasked mainly with raising money to support programs at the new Comprehensive Cancer Center that is slated to open in the fall.

He will also oversee other various fundraising projects, including the Good Sam Bike Jam for cancer patients, Baby’s First Ride car seat checks, Exempla Cares internal campaign for hospital associates, and other programs to ensure that the hospital has the most up-to-date equipment.

“We are excited about Robert’s background for our hospital and our foundation,” Sandy Cavanaugh, vice president of business development and community relations, said in a press statement. “Our community will benefit from his time and talent.”
