Green Mountain Power Plant, located in Silverthorne, CO, is part of the Colorado Big Thompson Project, a significant natural resource development project undertaken by Reclamation. The dam, an earthfill structure standing at 309 feet high, provides supplemental water for irrigation, municipal and industrial use, hydroelectric power, and water-oriented recreation opportunities.
The power plant at Green Mountain has two units with a total installed generating capacity of 26,000 kilowatts. As part of the interconnected system of 15 Reclamation power plants in the Missouri River Basin, Green Mountain Power Plant plays a crucial role in water storage, regulation, and diversion across a vast area of Colorado.
