Each location, which requires its own individual proposal, will be fitted with a 10kW-30kW photovoltaic system.
While five locations have been identified, details of the submitted proposals will ultimately determine how many of the sites are selected to receive solar panels, the utility said.
If chosen, the non-profit entities and government-owned facilities will receive all the energy produced by their site’s solar system.
APS will receive the renewable energy credits, which will go toward helping the company meet the requirements of the Arizona Corporation Commission’s (ACC’s) Renewable Energy Standard.
Funding for the installations is expected from two sources: a majority will come from the Energy Office of the Arizona Department of Commerce’s Distributed Energy Leadership Program, while the second source, pending ACC approval, is the APS Renewable Energy Incentive Program.
