SRP Coal vs. Solar

A short AZ Free Enterprise Club article (with embedded links) about the comparative costs of maintaining the current Cholla Power Plant (coal) and replacing the capacity with solar.

Cholla (coal) capacity of 425MW of capacity can produce power 24 hours a day – $1.9B

Eleven Miles (solar) capacity of 300MW during day, 0 MW at night – $1.0B

need to build approximately 1,700 MW of solar plus storage – between $4.7B and $5.7B – to replace $1.9B Cholla coal plant
