Salt River Project has increased the amount of power it plans to purchase from a massive solar project north of Flagstaff being financed by an Israeli energy conglomerate.
SRP announced Monday that the nonprofit energy utility company has signed an agreement to purchase 394 megawatts of power from the CO Bar Solar project in northern Arizona, which will be operated by renewable energy company Clenera, based in Boise, Idaho. That’s on top of the 400 megawatts that SRP already agreed months ago to buy from the project.
The two deals mean the project will provide SRP enough energy to power about 180,000 typical homes.
