High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Solana Generating Station, a solar power plant, scheduled to begin operation in 2012, is to be located near Gila Bend, Arizona, about 70 miles (110 km) southwest of Phoenix. It will have a total capacity of 280 megawatts (MW), which is enough to power 70,000 homes while avoiding over 400,000 tons of greenhouse gases that would otherwise contribute to global warming. Arizona Public Service (APS) has contracted to purchase 100% of the power output generated from Solana, to meet the Arizona Corporation Commission's (ACC) mandate that the state's regulated utilities provide 15% of their electricity from renewable energy sources by 2025. APS will pay about 14 /kW·h. The Solana plant will cost an estimated $1 billion; as of December 2008, financing has not been arranged.
