SRP power generation sources

SRP is strengthening and preparing the grid for a future that’s powered by renewable energy while maintaining the reliability we need to keep your family safe.

Explore SRP power sources

SRP operates and participates in a number of major power plants and generating facilities in Arizona and around the Southwest. As we add more renewable energy sources to our energy mix, we’re strategically using traditional energy sources like natural gas and coal to reliably strengthen our power grid, especially during the hot summer months when energy needs are at their highest. 

Explore our diverse energy mix by source or location on the map below.


Sustainability at SRP

As part of our commitment to achieve net zero carbon by 2050, we are expanding our mix of clean, renewable energy sources.

A donut graph labeled Today’s Energy Mix with segments reflecting different energy sources.  Natural gas has the largest segment. Natural gas and coal combine for more than half of the circle. Adding nuclear brings the cumulative total to more than three quarters of the total. The remaining portion includes market, other, hydro and renewable energy sources, which include solar, geothermal, wind and biomass

SRP is committed to cutting carbon emissions intensity by 82% by 2035 and reaching net zero by 2050. Learn more about sustainability at SRP.
