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.”

It’s heartening to know that the illegal and purposeless war in Iran is deeply unpopular with Trump’s base.
Maybe there’s hope.
The people at Allegiance Flags announce: Our best-selling 3×5 American Flag is made right here in the USA and will be the perfect addition to your home!
A reader adds:
Adding 2-3 extra stars to the flag will sell so many more flags! I’ll buy one, once we get two – three new states!
It’s hard to know what this guy is trying to say.
If Texas secedes the union, we’ll have one fewer state.
If California splits in half, we’ll have one more, not two or three.
I suppose he’s talking about military intervention into Canada, Greenland, and Cuba.
We’re a pariah nation, rightfully despised by the rest of the developed world.
My Republican mother used to ask me about Greta Thunberg, “Since when has a 15-year-old girl become an expert on climate science?’
“She not,” I would reply, “She’s a political activist who trusts what scientists are telling us over what the oil companies say. Whose accounts on this matter do you trust, and why?”
