APS to request proposals for new solar and wind resources
PHOENIX – Arizona Public Service Company (APS) announced plans today to add new solar and wind resources that will help expand the company’s renewable energy portfolio to about 2,500 megawatts by 2021 – enough to power more than half a million Arizona homes.
The company plans to issue two Requests for Proposal (RFPs) by Sept. 15, 2019. The first RFP will seek competitive proposals for up to 150 megawatts of APS-owned solar resources to be in service by 2021. This solar generation will be designed with the flexibility to add energy storage as a future option. A second RFP will pursue up to 250 megawatts of wind resources to be in service as soon as possible, but no later than 2022. Both RFPs will allow commercial customers to partner with APS in support of their own sustainability and clean energy goals.
