Lend Lease Communities to measure solar power at Lowry Range

An article from the Denver Business Journal, reports that Lend Lease Communities LLC announced it hopes to use solar power to support its planned community on the Lowry Range east of Aurora. The company is working for the State Land Board, which owns the old bombing range, and plans a development of about 13,000 homes plus commercial properties. Lend Lease is developing 3,870 acres within the 26,000-acre range. The developer, agency and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden installed a devise to measure the amount of sun that shines on the range to see if the location will support a solar power generating plant. The Lowry Range solar-measurement station is the first device installed at the request of a real estate developer intending to use the energy to support a community, according to the NREL.
