SPower and Salt River Project have opened the 45MW sPower Sandstone solar plant in in Florence in Arizona.
SRP is purchasing all the electricity from the facility, which is owned and operated by sPower.
Sandstone (pictured) is located on more than 300 acres and uses more than 182,000 photovoltaic modules mounted on a single-axis tracking system that follows the sun.
Tax equity financing for the project was provided by Wells Fargo.
SPower chief executive officer Ryan Creamer said: “SRP’s progressive approach to expanding its renewable energy portfolio should serve as an example to other utilities. From start to finish, SRP has been an outstanding and collaborative partner.”
