Niobrara Energy Park, located in Weld County, Colorado, is a renewable energy datacenter project that will combine clean fossil fuels, alternative energy, Smart Grid, energy storage, renewable energy research, DC power and cloud computing data centers.

“Niobrara Energy Park is the largest proposed MicroGrid on the planet,” said said Craig Harrison, founder of the data center project.

Niobrara Energy Park recently teamed up with IDC Architects, a CH2M Hill company, to showcase new concepts of integrated conventional and renewable energy facilities in the project. The 640-acre Niobrara Energy Park is located in northeastern Colorado between Fort Collins and Cheyenne, Wyoming, and is on the market as one project for a single buyer or joint venture.

Connectivity
Existing connectivity and power include: Electric grid (three 230kV lines)
Fibre optic lines from Level 3, Sprint, AT&T and CenturyLink. It also has a substation and secondary Level 3 and Sprint fibre route includes government LambdaRail fibre.

Datacenter
The plan envisages a large scale Tier IV datacenter, a 50Mw utility-scale solar farm, secondary datacenters and a 200 Mw natural gas power plant.

Location
Located in northern Colorado, the 644-acre Niobrara Energy Park is approximately 27 miles from Fort Collins, 15 miles from Cheyenne, 32 miles from Greeley, and 85 miles from Denver. The site can be accessed from both I-25 and U.S. Highway 85 at the Carr exits.

Property status
Greenfield

Zoning
Completed March 16, 2011. Forty-five separate energy land uses were approved, including cloud computing data centers, a 50-megawatt solar farm, a 200-megawatt gas power plant, renewables and energy storage.

Demographics
Within 30-mile radius, population of 300,000. Within 75-mile radius, population of 1.6 million.
