First Phase of APS Foothills Solar Plant Completed

摘要

Arizona Public Service Co. (APS) recently announced the completion of the first 17-MW phase of its Foothills solar power plant-the fifth APS AZ Sun Program* facility and the first ever solar project to be built on Arizona State Trust Lands. With an ultimate capacity of 35 MW, the Foothills solar plant will soon generate enough electricity to power 8,750 local Yuma County customers. The plant is being built in two phases: the first 17 MW is now online, and the remaining 18 MW is scheduled to reach commercial operation by the end of this year. AMEC's work on this 400-acre project began in 2012.
