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).

“Western States Bank was not only impressed with Drew’s work experience, but also his commitment to the community, which aligns with our mission as a true community bank,” Pearson said.  Prior to moving to Northern Colorado, Johnson was involved with the Laramie Rotary Club and Laramie Head Start.  

Johnson was awarded co-Rotarian of the Year in 2012 and recognized as one of Laramie Young Professionals and Laramie Boomerang’s “20 under 40” in 2016.
