What is the Solana Generating Station Project?
The Solana Generating Station is a solar electric power
plant that will be

Solana will use concentrating solar power (CSP) technology coupled with
the ability to store energy during non-
sunlight hours, to better meet
Arizona
resident's peak demand.
Project Components:
- A new 280MW CSP electric generation facility, which if in operation today, would be the largest solar power plant in the world.
- A new 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line to interconnect
with Arizona Public
Service Company's (APS) transmission system. - Interconnection to an APS substation in the Gila Bend area.
