Tempe-based nonprofit utility Salt River Project, along with its partner Orsted, have announced the opening of the 300-megawatt Eleven Mile Solar Center project in Pinal County.

The solar farm was built by Orsted east of Casa Grande, about halfway between Coolidge and Eloy. It includes 300 megawatts of battery storage capacity and is the largest facility of its kind in SRP’s system, covering more than 2,000 acres and expected to generate $80 million in tax revenue over its lifetime.
