A year has passed since Arizona Public Service (APS) pledged to reach 100 percent clean, carbon-free energy by 2050, and the company has noted continued progress along that path despite the immediate hurdles caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
To keep on track, APS has set an interim clean energy commitment of making its resource mix 65 percent clean by 2030 and to end coal use outright by 2031. This past year, efforts included the continued operation of the nation’s largest energy producer: Palo Verde Generating Station, which churned out nuclear power even during the hottest Arizona summer on record. It also added more than 400 MW of clean energy resources and issued a request for proposal to acquire more battery storage to tack approximately 1-1.5 GW of new resources onto solar generation.
