Solar Energy

Advancing development of solar and other renewable technologies is at the core of SRP’s business.

That’s why we’ve committed to cut our greenhouse gas emissions by a third by 2035 — a goal we’ll achieve by retiring coal-fired generation and increasing the amount of solar we use to power our customers’ homes and businesses.

We’ve already invested in almost 300 megawatts of solar generation, while carefully balancing the interests of our customers. It’s our job as a nonprofit to deliver reliable power at the best possible price, all while considering the environmental impact of what we do. We do that by investing in solar and renewable technologies that deliver the biggest impact for the best value.

Advancing solar

While we invest in solar and renewables that currently make economic sense, we’re researching technologies that will further expand the benefits of solar to all of our customers.

We opened our first solar generating facility with dedicated battery storage in May 2018 — stretching the power of solar beyond sundown. We’re working on a second such project in Chandler in conjunction with Tesla. And, we’ve incentivized our customers to explore battery storage with a rebate of up to $1,800 for a home system.
