About the Projects
The proposed Towner Energy Center in Kiowa County, Colorado, will generate clean, American-made energy to meet the nation's growing electricity demand, starting with Towner East and Towner West, two 500 MW wind energy projects. Additional phases of the project will aim to capture and store the superior wind and solar resources in Colorado to deliver efficient, reliable, low-cost energy to the surrounding communities.
