Salt River Project (SRP) and Flatland Storage, a subsidiary of EDP Renewables North America (EDPR NA) have entered into an agreement to provide new energy storage to Arizona’s grid.
The Flatland Energy Storage Project will be a 200 MW battery energy storage system located near Coolidge, Ariz. Scheduled to be online next year, the project will utilize lithium-ion technology, designed and manufactured in the U.S. by Tesla.
This is SRP’s second project in partnership with EDPR NA. The first, Brittlebush Solar Park, provides 200 MW of solar energy to SRP customers. The energy storage project is located within the solar park. The location will allow the battery to store energy from the grid or from the solar facility.
“We’re excited to be partnering with SRP on the largest utility-scale storage project in the EDP Group’s global portfolio to date,” says Sandhya Ganapathy, CEO of EDPR NA.
“Storage is key to modernizing the U.S. power grid and is a requisite in accelerating the adoption of renewable energy, while boosting grid reliability and resiliency.”
Through its Integrated System Plan, SRP found it will need to at least double the number of generating resources on its power system in the next 10 years to meet increasing energy demand in the Phoenix metropolitan area as it moves forward with the planned retirement of 1,300 MW of coal resources.
SRP currently has 1,300 MW of storage and 3,000 MW online.

Can’t swear that this is true but hoping so.
We must never forget.
The more visibility and the more frequent reminders we can get on this catastrophe in U.S. history the better.
It’s almost funny when we hear that California is a socialist state, or a police state (due to our environmental restrictions), or that people are leaving in droves to go to Texas or Florida. When I come across people who say this, I wonder: have you ever actually been to California?
Do you know that the garden-variety 3 BR, 2 BA house here lists at about $1.2 million, where, if it were moved to, say, the Midwest, it would be worth perhaps $2500,000? Why do you think that could possibly be? Maybe the law of supply and demand doesn’t apply to the Marxist part of the nation?
Perhaps it’s because Californians are offered fantastic economic opportunities. We develop and implement ideas that improve the lives of everyone on Earth, and that we profit greatly from our undertakings.
Something for the MAGA crowd to consider.
The main way governments create wealth is by educating people so that they can become productive members of society. They also build roads and airports and maintain law and order so that honest businesses can thrive.
Anyone living now who believes that Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are creating wealth for anyone but themselves is a total fool.
A ton of people bought into the concept expressed here in the mid-20th Century, but no semi-intelligent person today believes that tax breaks for billionaires/trillionaires generates a nickel for the common person.
