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).

UCHealth Greeley Hospital will provide 53 beds with room to grow and will include an intensive-care unit, an emergency department, operating rooms, advanced cardiology services and a birth center.

The UCHealth Medical Center will be the new home for many UCHealth physicians who already provide primary and specialty care to patients across the region. Both the hospital and medical center are expected to be completed in late 2018.

The health-care system announced plans for the hospital in June of last year.
