Walden, Colorado makes national headlines by installing floating solar project to help address high electric bills
"When a town has high electric bills and no available land for a solar farm, a floating solar plant on the pond of a waste water plant makes great sense. Walden, Colorado, population 750, elevation 8,000 feet plus, and land area of 0.34 square miles, is such a town."

Mountain Parks Electric announces 1.3 megawatt solar project in Jackson County
Thanks in part to Colorado's abundant solar energy resources, our local utilities are seeing solar energy prices between 2 and 4.5 cents per kilowatt hour—cheaper than many traditional fossil fuel sources of energy. The Mountain Parks Electric board of directors recently approved plans to build a 1.3 megawatt solar project in Jackson County–enough to power 300 homes– that "will save money on wholesale power costs with every kilowatt-hour generated by this solar array," according to General Manager Tom Sifers. That's a win-win! Grand County also has several sites that are well suited for solar development.
