Environment

At El Dorado Energy, environmental stewardship is a cornerstone of our commitment to the community and to enhancing the relationship with and blending into the Colorado landscape. Here are some of our efforts that are making a difference in Clark County:

• El Dorado Energy’s urban forestry program
  A partnership with the city of Boulder City and the Clark County Health District to plant more than 15,000 new trees in Boulder City.
• Solar technology
  The El Dorado Energy plant features a 100-kilowatt solar field that uses photovoltaic technology, making it a site for future solar research and development projects. This field contains 256 photovoltaic modules that follow the path of the sun across the sky from east to west. The use of solar tracking allows this system to generate 20 percent more electricity per year than if it were in a fixed or nontracking setup.
