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).

Cority declined an interview request with BizWest Thursday morning, but CEO Mark Wallace said in a statement that the company is excited to join the state’s technology sector.

“We look forward to working with the team in Colorado to further invest in the product, expand the customer base, and enjoy even more success together,” he said.

It’s unclear how many employees are at Axion, or if the deal will cause any changes in operations or headcount. Axion representatives declined to comment.
