Sugar Beet Solar Project

A Letter from Christine Mikell

Over the past 15 years, myself, and the team at Enyo Renewable Energy have forged a path to sustainability across the Intermountain West developing the first wind energy project in Utah, the Spanish Fork Wind Park. Through successful collaboration between policy makers, utility companies, landowners, business stakeholders and civic leaders, we have established a foundation for leadership in developing renewable energy solutions.

Now, we are pleased to announce we are building upon that foundation by developing the Sugar Beet Solar Project, a 40 MW solar farm located in Weld County, Colorado a mile west of the town of Mead. Solar energy development is not just about clean air, clean water, and unlimited energy – it’s about stimulating rural economies by using solar energy to attract new businesses. It’s the benefits to communities and the creation of clean renewable energy that are the most rewarding aspects of working in the solar energy industry.

The Sugar Beet Solar Project currently employs local experts in Weld County who have considerable knowledge of the area. The development, construction, and operation of this facility will bring further economic benefits to the community, stimulate local business, and generate additional tax revenue for Weld County. My team and I are very excited to work with the Town of Mead and Weld County and the surrounding areas to ensure that we can make a substantial positive contribution in your community. We look forward to keeping you apprised of our progress and welcome your feedback.

Warm Regards,
Christine Mikell
