In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a proposed solar energy project that aims to generate 270 megawatts of power along with battery storage capabilities. The site, characterized by flat topography and the absence of sensitive biological resources, is located near the Eloy solar project, which already contributes to green energy production.

Key considerations for the project include its proximity to a potential future high-capacity corridor, I-11, and the presence of two flood zones, A and X. The proposal includes standard solar infrastructure, featuring photovoltaic (PV) modules and single access points.

Support for the project has been voiced by the Eloy Chamber of Commerce, which highlighted the anticipated economic benefits, including job creation and increased tax revenue. The discussions reflect a growing interest in renewable energy initiatives and their potential to stimulate local economies while addressing environmental concerns.
