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).

• JumpCloud Inc., a Louisville directory-as-a-service company, raised $159 million in a Series F equity round. That brought the company’s valuation to $2.56 billion, more than tripling its previous valuation and making it the region’s latest unicorn. This comes on the heels of a $100 million round earlier this year.
• Fort Collins software-as-a-service company Tilt, under the name Career Allies Inc., has raised $4.9 million of an $8.2 million equity round. Tilt licenses software that helps companies manage parental leave.
