BrightNight and Cordelio Power announced a new power purchase agreement with Arizona Public Service (APS), the largest electricity provider in Arizona.
Under the agreement, APS will purchase energy from BrightNight and Cordelio’s Pioneer Clean Energy Center, a 300-MW solar and 1,200-MWh battery energy storage facility located in Yuma County, Arizona. The Pioneer project will deliver reliable, affordable, and clean electricity to APS customers.
“At APS, we thoughtfully evaluate and select projects that bring the most long-term value to our customers. The Pioneer Clean Energy Center is part of our expanding solar power and battery energy storage portfolio developed to meet growing demand with reliable service. Projects like Pioneer will help deliver cost-competitive energy to Arizona’s communities over the next several decades,” said Brian Cole, APS VP of resource management.
The Pioneer project is expected to begin construction in September 2025, with operations commencing in April of 2027.
