A look inside Cheyenne’s new hydroelectric facility
Oct 10, 2023
On Saturday, the Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities (BOPU) opened the doors of its new hydroelectric generation facility to the public.
It’s located at the R.L. Sherard Water Treatment Plant where it provides more than enough energy to power the whole plant. The plant has been around since 2002 and no longer must solely rely on energy from the power grid. The $7.4 million hydroelectric project was recently constructed and went online in July.
