Routt County Justice Center

In partnership with SolSource Energy Solutions, LLC and other Colorado solar companies, the Routt County Justice Center of Steamboat Springs has added a new feature to its roofline. The commercial size solar energy system is the first to be installed in the Yampa Valley and is the county’s first, publicly owned, renewable energy project.

This project will offset 2 million pounds of Carbon Dioxide from entering the atmosphere over the 25 year lifespan of the system, which is equal to eliminating over 2.2 million auto driving miles. Click here to see real time data monitoring information.

In a unique agreement, Routt County signed a Renewable Energy Sale Contract with Xcel Energy, which will provide lower energy costs for the county as more “green power” is generated.

This PV system alone will save $238,401 in energy costs over the course of its lifetime, which will certainly be a welcomed contribution and combatant to the rising costs of energy.
