Coronado Generating Station Repower Project: Why It Matters to Arizona Contractors | AZAGC

AZAGC supports the Coronado Generating Station Repower Project and SRP’s request to amend its Certificate of Environmental Compatibility to convert CGS from coal to natural gas.

Arizona’s economic growth requires reliable, affordable electricity. The CGS repower project preserves 790 megawatts of existing generation capacity while reducing emissions and modernizing infrastructure.

The project will:

Generate significant engineering and construction work
Require new fuel infrastructure including a lateral natural gas pipeline
Support construction employment in rural Arizona
Help stabilize electric rates through projected customer savings

AZAGC believes modern, reliable energy infrastructure is essential to sustaining Arizona’s construction economy and supporting long-term statewide growth.
