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).

Lightning previously estimated it would generate revenues of $2 billion by 2025 as part of its ongoing plans to go public on the New York Stock Exchange via a special purpose acquisition company. It intends to close that deal by the end of June.

The company also hired a new chief financial officer in January.
