SRP: Integrated solar and battery project in Pinal County will be largest in Arizona

Salt River Project on April 20 announced a 20-year power purchase agreement for a grid-scale, integrated solar and battery project that will be in Pinal County.

SRP will purchase all of the energy produced at the Pinal Central Energy Center, near Coolidge, which will be constructed and owned by a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, according to a press release.

A subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources will build a single-axis tracking, 20 megawatt solar photovoltaic generation facility at the site and combine it with a 10MW lithium-ion energy storage system.  The solar plant will be used to charge the battery so it can deliver energy when the sun is not shining.
