Ørsted and Salt River Project (SRP) have commenced operations at the Eleven Mile Solar Center, a 300 MW solar project and 300 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) in Pinal County, Ariz.
The center is SRP’s largest co-located solar and BESS project, providing power to businesses, homes and Meta’s data center in Mesa, Ariz.
“Solar energy paired with battery energy storage will be critical to the reliable delivery of power as the demand for electricity grows,” says David Hardy, Group EVP and CEO Americas at Ørsted.
“Arizona has one of the highest growth rates of electricity in the country due to the surge in data centers and the reshoring of American manufacturing. With our first project in Arizona now complete, we’re thrilled to help meet the growing demand of the state and region with reliable, domestic energy.”
Ørsted supported American companies, such as First Solar, Fluence and NEXTracker, in procuring panels, batteries and tracking equipment and for the project.
With the addition of Eleven Mile, SRP has 3,000 MW of energy, including 1,400 MW of solar. It also has 1,300 MW of battery and pumped hydro storage supporting its grid.

Are There Any Trump Voters Who Regret Their Choices?
For those who struggle with elementary school arithmetic, Trump won the election (50%+ approval) out of more than 150 million votes cast, and now his approval rating is in the low 30s.
That’s ~30 million voters who regret their choices, out of the common American.
Add in the Tucker Carlsons of the world.

Let’s Answer the Question Here
Absolutely.
It must be done, because our country is home to some hateful morons who want to see honest, hardworking, taxpaying people with brown skin deported, and their families torn apart.
It wasn’t the American way until recently, but it sure is now.
