The Bureau of Land Management said it will soon auction 1,064 acres of public land in Colorado for solar project development.
Bidding is slated to begin at 10 a.m. on April 27 at the BLM Rock Mountain District Office.
De Tilla Gulch was designated as a solar energy zone in 2012, identifying it as a location with substantial potential to produce solar energy at utility-scale and low potential for land use conflicts, including natural and cultural resource conflicts.
The auction responds to significant development interest for the site, with a Call for Nominations or Expressions of Interest published in the Federal Register receiving replies from multiple potential developers.
