APS, the state’s largest utility, has agreed to buy power from a portion of the CO Bar Solar complex’s total capacity being developed outside of Flagstaff.

Boise, Idaho-based Clēnera, the project developer and renewable energy company, announced the 20-year power purchase agreement. Clēnera is a subsidiary of Enlight Renewable Energy, a publicly traded company headquartered in Israel that builds and operates solar and wind power facilities.

The CO Bar complex, a solar and storage complex, is being developed near Flagstaff, with construction work scheduled to begin by the end of this year. It is expected to reach operation by 2025.

According to a press release, it is expected to be one of the largest renewable energy installations in the U.S.

“We are excited to work with APS to develop the first combined solar and storage project at the CO Bar complex and help drive Arizona’s clean energy initiatives to deliver affordable, clean power to households in the state,” Gilad Yavetz, Enlight CEO, stated.

The agreement with APS reflects the third power purchase agreement signed at the complex, but the first with battery storage.
