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).

According to its website, Rack-Em-Up specialized in installing ground-based solar panels, along with engineering for other small-grid renewable energy systems. CEO Davide Picard is also the owner of Zero Energy Aviation LLC, which completed one of a three-part ongoing hangar construction project at the Boulder Municipal Airport. Zero Energy Aviation is listed as the largest creditor in the filing by value with a $32,494 claim.

Picard did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday afternoon.
