Current energy production

Platte River's current energy production

Platte River Power Authority is committed to working toward achieving a 100% noncarbon energy mix by 2030 while maintaining delivery of reliable, environmentally responsible and financially sustainable energy and services to its owner communities.

Platte River began using battery storage technology in late 2020 but a significant percentage of the noncarbon energy produced is dependent upon available wind and sunshine. Noncarbon energy output therefore varies from day to day and hour to hour.

This chart provides a near-real-time view of the energy produced by Platte River. Energy is displayed through megawatts and percentages. Data shown will automatically update every 10-15 minutes.

Generation mix over previous 24 hours

Energy is displayed in megawatts of production by resource from the previous 24 hours up to the present time. When resources are not producing they do not display. Data shown will automatically update every 10-15 minutes.
