Kit Carson Electric Cooperative will commence its Questa hydrogen and solar facility project in June 2023, backed by $231 million in federal funding. The initiative aims to create a hydrogen hub with electrolyzers and storage systems by 2028, providing long-duration energy storage for up to 25,000 homes and generating over 350 construction jobs, while also collaborating with the Village of Questa on a solar array to enhance local revenue. This project seeks to diversify the regional economy following the closure of the Chevron molybdenum mine.
