Valley nonprofit utility Salt River Project has signed a deal that will add 600 megawatts of wind-generated energy from the massive SunZia Southwestern power project.
SRP said Wednesday that it entered a power purchase agreement, or PPA, with Pattern Energy for an initial 400 megawatts starting this fall, which will increase to 600 by the summer of 2027.
