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).

Boulder-based Clovis will be in charge of running the ovarian cancer tests while Bristol-Myers operates the prostate and breast cancer studies.

All three tests should be started before the end of the year.

Clovis’ stock fell over the weekend, down from $98 when the market closed on Friday to $92.40 per share when the market opened on Monday. Stock has steadily declined since then and was at $85.20 at time of publication.
