Black Hollow Sun I Solar Photovoltaic Facility

operational

Black Hollow Sun I (BHS I) is a 185 MWp solar photovoltaic facility located near the Town of Severance, Colorado. It is ContourGlobal's first operating renewable plant in the United States and the initial phase of the Black Hollow Sun complex, which will also include BHS II (139 MWp). When fully completed in 2026, the complex will have a total capacity of 324 MWp, making it Northern Colorado's largest solar project and Platte River's largest contracted solar asset. The complex will produce around 608 GWh of clean energy annually, enough to power more than 73,000 homes in Northern Colorado while avoiding almost 450,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions each year. The project uses American-manufactured solar modules supplied by Qcells, which also provides integrated EPC solutions. The construction period created approximately 450 direct jobs and 250 indirect jobs, benefiting the local economy.
