Renewable energy company Silicon Ranch and not-for-profit distribution cooperative Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative (SSVEC) completed their joint 20-megawatt alternating current McNeal Solar Farm, according to an Oct. 9 press release.
The solar farm includes an 80 megawatt-hour (MWh) and battery energy storage, allowing SSVEC to meet increasing load demand throughout the day and into evening hours. The site connects to Arizona’s grid for energy distribution to more than 3,000 households across the state.
“The McNeal solar and battery storage project allows SSVEC to increase the amount of affordable, renewable energy for our members while supporting system reliability and promoting energy independence,” Jason Bowling, SSVEC CEO, said in a release.
Silicon Ranch developed and funded the project, investing over $70 million into the solar farm’s installation.
