One of Arizona’s largest solar power plants will deliver 400 MW of renewable energy to the state by 2024. Located about 30 miles northwest of Flagstaff on 2,400 acres of private land in Coconino County, CO Bar Solar is a partnership between Tempe-based not-for-profit utility SRP and solar and storage developer Boise-based Clēnera (pronounced “clean era”), which will build and operate the plant.
“This will be SRP’s largest stand-alone solar plant once built and in operation, and we can say with confidence it will be one of the largest in Arizona,” says Barry Petrey, manager of resource acquisition for SRP, the largest provider of electricity in the greater Phoenix metro area and its largest supplier of water.
