DOE Approves Floating Solar Pilot for Colorado Reservoir
Original: Federal Water Tap, September 28, 2026: DOE Clears a Floating-Solar Test Project for a Small Colorado Reservoir
The Department of Energy has cleared a floating-solar test project on a small reservoir in Colorado, according to Circle of Blue's Federal Water Tap briefing dated September 28, 2026. The project will test placing solar panels on water, an approach that saves land and can reduce evaporation while generating renewable power for nearby users.
Why now: New federal approval of a floating-solar pilot reflects growing interest in combining water management with renewable energy development.
