Hyder valley solar energy project. Hyder i went online in october 2011. They include the large scale sonoran project south of buckeye the quartzsite project in la paz county north of interstate 10 and the hyder valley project east of hyder. In 2012 arizona had 1 106 mw of photovoltaic pv solar power systems and 6 mw of concentrated solar power csp bringing the total to over 1 112 megawatts mw of solar power the solana generating station is a 280 mw parabolic trough solar plant which. Commercial operations are expected to be online by december 2013 announced arizona public service co.
Arizona has three proposed solar energy zones with a total of 16 492 acres. In our role as the epc contractor for arizona public service co mccarthy provided permitting design procurement and construction for the entire project. Hyder valley north of interstate 8 east of the town of hyder and west of the oatman mountains in maricopa county.
