    Canadian Solar subsidiary Recurrent Energy has signed two 20-year toll agreements with Arizona Public Service Company (APS), boosting Arizona’s clean energy capacity with 1,800 MWh of energy storage and 150 MWac of solar energy by 2026.

    The agreements involve the Desert Bloom Storage and Papago Solar projects in Maricopa County. Construction is expected to begin in 2025 and operations will begin the following year.

    Desert Bloom Storage will provide a 600 MWh stand-alone storage facility, and Papago Solar will provide a 150 MWac solar facility.

    Ismael Guerrero, CEO of Recurrent Energy, said: “Our partnership with APS on 1.8 GWh of storage and 150 MW of solar capacity represents a remarkable development in energy infrastructure in the Phoenix region.

    “APS has long been a leader in clean energy innovation, and we are grateful for APS’ trust as we deliver the projects needed to help meet Arizona’s growing demand for electricity . We look forward to continuing to build a lasting partnership with APS.

    These new projects complement last year’s announcement of a 20-year toll agreement for the 1,200 MWh Papago Storage project, which is currently under construction and expected to be operational in 2025.

    When completed, it will be the largest stand-alone energy storage project in Arizona.

    Collectively, the three agreements with APS will provide enough energy storage to power the equivalent of 72,000 homes for four hours and enough solar energy to power approximately 24,000 homes annually.

    Arizona’s current energy storage capacity stands at 1 GW, with renewable energy making up 12% of the state’s electricity mix.

    To meet growing energy demand, Arizona plans to add 7.6 GW of large-scale solar power, 1.7 GW of wind power and 5.9 GW of battery storage by 2030.

    This expansion is expected to provide clean electricity to more than five million homes.

    Brian Cole, APS vice president of resource management, said, “With the increasing number of people and businesses relocating to Arizona, we expect our customers’ energy needs to continue to grow. increase significantly over the next few years.

    “We carefully plan to meet this growing demand with reliable, clean electricity at the lowest possible cost through the addition of projects such as Desert Bloom Storage, Papago Solar and Papago Storage.”
