Mesa gets solar power from SRP
Posted
The city of Mesa is now one of 11 customers for Salt River Project receiving solar power from a new facility.
The power is coming from a 100-megawatt plant from Saint Solar that is part of the utility’s increasing efforts to provide its customers with renewable energy.
“The city of Mesa is always looking for ways to be a little greener,” Mesa Mayor John Giles said in a release. “Thanks to SRP’s
Sustainable Energy Offering, we’ll be able to tap into our generous Arizona sunshine and add more solar power to our overall energy mix.”
Mesa isn’t the only city to receive power from the plant as Chandler and Phoenix also are part of the distribution. Businesses receiving power include Albertsons Cos. Inc., data centers Cyrus One and Digital Realty, and Mesa Public Schools.
“From the beginning of this process, discussing an innovative energy offering with a diverse group of customers, to now, experiencing how we jointly take a step closer to achieving our renewable energy goals, is something we recognize is extremely impactful,” SRP Associate General Manager and Chief Customer Executive Jim Pratt said in a release.
SRP’s latest renewable energy offering has a total of 33 companies signed up for 300 megawatts of power, of which the Saint Solar facility is part. SRP has a goal to reduce carbon intensity of its operations by 60% by 2035.
