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).

Luck will join the Stream board of directors. 

Thierry Schellenbach and Tommaso Barbugli founded Stream in Amsterdam. In 2015, the founders participated in the Techstars accelerator program in New York. After the program, Stream’s headquarters moved to Boulder.

The company has 55 employees in offices in Colorado and in the Netherlands.
