NRS Site Visit - Solar Met Station in Colorado
Greetings!

NRS solar developers Roger “Hal” Halbakken and Brad Wilson visited NRS project development sites in Colorado in early February, including a stop at the site of our “Honors Energy” utility-scale solar project. 
While onsite, Hal and Brad checked in on the NRG Systems solar met station that was installed in 2021 and has been operating for several months. Similar to a wind met tower in some ways (but much shorter), the solar met station collects onsite meteorological data important for accurately modeling the solar energy that can be generated at the site. Read more...

NRS team members will be attending InfoCast's Solar + Wind Finance & Investment Summit in a few weeks. We look forward to connecting to industry folks there.

NRS became a major sponsor at this year's Colorado Solar and Storage Association Mountain West Conference (COSSA). Their mission is to expand solar and storage markets in Colorado by working with hundreds of solar business members to advance solar and storage policy, remove market barriers, highlight emerging trends, and promote solar and storage outreach and education.  ​NRS met with several entities and organizations during the conference who provided valuable insight about their energy transition future in Colorado. The NRS team is excited to be a part of this great association.

Ice Fishing Excursion
The NRS Development crew came together for some team building mid-February at the NRS Headquarters in Minnetonka, MN. 

Here's some of the group making the most of Minnesota's winter with some ice fishing on Lake Minnetonka. There may have even been one fish caught amongst the pizza dinner and great conversation!
