APS Natural Gas Power Plant near Gila Bend

planned

Arizona Public Service (APS) plans to build a new state-of-the-art natural gas power plant west of Gila Bend, Arizona. The plant will add up to 2,000 megawatts of electricity to the state's power grid and support Arizona's rapidly growing energy needs. The project will be executed in two phases: the first phase will support current customer growth, and the second phase will enable new extra-large customer investments, such as data centers. The second phase costs will be borne by the extra-large utility customers, protecting residential and business customers from additional costs. The plant will also create hundreds of construction jobs and a smaller number of long-term operational jobs.
