Solar & hydro power generation
450 MW → 1,125 MW
Replaces capacity of two decommissioning Yampa Valley coal plants.
A staged plan to expand ~$80M of audited Colorado water and land assets into a $2.35B portfolio of energy, housing, and agricultural production.
Water is at a premium in Colorado — and across the seven Compact States that draw on the River.
Reserves are depleting while demand from agriculture, municipalities, and industry continues to climb. Apportionment is increasingly contentious. Unit values for adjudicated water keep moving in one direction.
Existing uses consume <0.018% of the Company’s current capacity.
The remainder is the springboard — available to be combined, layered, and adjudicated against new beneficial-use projects.
Acquire ~50,000 contiguous acres at ~$3,500 per acre. Adjudicate up to 125,000 acre-feet of new water at current $16,000/AF appraisal. Deploy compounding beneficial uses on top.
Most developers can’t deliver workforce housing at scale, and most energy providers can’t deliver hydro-backed solar at scale, for the same reason: water.
Solar at the 250–1,000 MW scale needs redundant nighttime & weather recharge. Hydroelectric backup requires huge water reserves — PSG sits on four aquifers with up to 3,000 years of storage at current consumption rates.
In a resort market with $1.8–2.0M average home prices, water is the chief barrier to entry for affordable development. PSG already owns and controls the necessary water, infrastructure, and a portion of the entitled land.

2,969 units · 830 acres
A 40-year pent-up demand in the Steamboat / Hayden labor shed.
Up to $23,887 / ac / yr
Irrigated organic crops — vertically integrated with on-site manufacturing.
40 ac annexed · HWY 40
X-West campus — build-to-suit, light manufacturing, bottling, SIPs.
All four uses qualify under Colorado Water Law “can and will” criteria. The Company has 18 years of compliance history serving subdivisions, irrigation, and stock watering.
Net $96.7M over the 20-year term — passive lease income, with a 3% annual escalator.
PSG (and assignees) remain in title to the underlying water, land, and water-storage created. The Alternative Energy Group funds infrastructure development.
One of two coal-fired plants being decommissioned in the Yampa Valley over the next ~5 years.
Up to 4.89M gallons / 24 hr
When not recharging on-site batteries
~10,000+ AF combined storage
Wells & delivery systems recharge reservoirs · reservoirs recharge batteries · or hydroelectric power is sold into the grid. The JV retains ownership of reservoirs, delivery systems, and water stored.
Prevailing average home values in the immediate market: $1.8M–$2.0M. Workforce target band: $400K–$700K.
$10.92M / yr
Self-funding after Phase 1, Filings 1–2. Steamboat Resort expansion under Alterra (KSL Capital + Henry Crown) recently capitalized $3B for growth — expanding the demand curve, not flattening it.
Build-to-suit for sale or lease — or retained for warehouse, staging, SIP fabrication, bottling, “green” building materials.
Crop blend tuned to maximize adjudicable acre-feet per surface acre — irrigated organic hay, livestock, hemp feedstock, greenhouse, aquaculture.
~12,870 acres · 35,000 AF water assets · solar lease in operation, PUD Phase 1 underway.
Add ~10,000 acres + 72,000 AF undeveloped water rights for long-term hold & augmentation.
Up to ~50,000 acres · up to 125,000 AF adjudicated water · ~$25.7M average net annual revenue.
Stages may be grouped to run concurrently as capital and beneficial-use implementation allow — compressing the timeline without changing the math.
