Key Points
Salt River Project is proposing a new 1,675-megawatt energy center in Pinal County to meet rising power demand.
The Marigold Energy Center would combine solar arrays, battery storage and natural gas turbines on a 5,000-acre site.
Arizona's energy needs are growing due to population increases, hotter summers, the rise of advanced manufacturing and the arrival of data centers.
The project requires approval from SRP's board and must pass a variety of regulatory hurdles before construction can begin.
