US - The Arizona Public Service Co. has been given the go-ahead for a large-scale solar-energy plant near Gila Bend.The Arizona Corporation Commission said the Solana Generating Station will add diversity to APS' mix of energy sources and, importantly, help it meet its renewable-energy resource requirements, according to a report in the Arizona Republic.
The 280-megawatt Solana Generation Station will be able to power 70,000 Arizona homes at its peak output and would be the largest solar plant in the world.
APS will not own or operate the generating station but will contract with Abengoa Solar Inc., a Spanish technology company, for all the electricity Solana generates. Solana is due to open in 2011, the report says.
