Dove Valley is a senior community for retired farmers in Milliken, Colorado. TAC is installing a 56.8 kW photovoltaic solar array distributed on multiple rooftops in the Dove Valley complex that will provide up to 70% of the electricity consumed by the residents and will save the Milliken Housing Authority more than $8,825 per year on utility bills over the next 20+ years!

Junior Energy Ranger Program
We launched this exciting new educational program with our first ever Junior Energy Ranger training for the entire 8th grade at Lincoln IB World Middle School. Thanks to the strong collaboration with the Lincoln 8th grade teachers and our incredible 19 volunteer presenters (all professionals in the field of energy efficiency and renewables) we were able to host a full day of interdisciplinary programs for the 140 8th grade students!
