How Platte River Power Authority is accelerating its energy transition

Platte River Power Authority, the community-owned wholesale electricity provider for Northern Colorado, has a history of bold initiatives.

The brewery announced early last month that it would build the wine cellar and tasting room with a release date in summer 2020. The wines will also be canned and distributed across the state. The planning documents do not contain details on how much wine Odell plans to produce in the new venture.

Other documents show the brewery planned to serve coffee in the mornings at the renovation site’s tasting room, but Odell spokesman Alex Kayne said the brewery scrapped the idea.
