Salt River Project (SRP) and NextEra Energy Resources have put the 260 MW Sonoran Solar Energy Center, located south of Buckeye, Ariz., into operation. 

The solar facility can additionally charge a 1 GWh BESS, which the company says is the largest in the state. The center is expected to help match the electricity consumed by Google’s forthcoming data center campus in Mesa, with any unused energy going to other SRP customers.

The joint company effort is also slated to support Google through the Storey Energy Center, an 88 MW solar and BESS in Coolidge, Ariz., and the still under development 161 MW wind facility, Babbitt Ranch Energy Center, in Coconino County.

“SRP and the Valley are fortunate to have sustainability focused organizations like Google located here who help accelerate the transition to carbon-free power resources,” says SRP’s Bobby Olsen. “We also value our partnerships with developers like NextEra Energy Resources who support SRP in developing renewable resources in a rapid timeframe as we prioritize delivering affordable, reliable and sustainable power to all SRP customers.”

COVID-19 and Dr. Anthony Fauci

Published

Well, if I had the IQ of a squirrel and believed that Fauci colluded with hundreds of other top scientists around the world to enslave the planet’s population, I would jump right on board.

Doesn’t work for me, though.

Today, however, belief in science and reason makes me a communist.

ExxonMobil Has a PR Campaign that Will Appeal to Some People

Published

on

If you want a steady stream of information about the supposed value that ExxonMobil is bringing to the world, you may want to sign up for this.

These people are playing for keeps, btw.  They’re destroying a little piece more of this planet every day, and they understand that completely.

But there is money at stake.  Lots of it.
