APS’s strategy to achieve its RES requirements includes executing purchased power contracts
for new facilities, ongoing development of distributed energy resources and procurement of new
facilities to be owned by APS. APS is developing owned solar resources through the AZ Sun Program.
Under this program to date, APS has executed contracts for the development of 118 MW of new solar
generation, representing an investment commitment of approximately $502 million. See Note 3 for
additional details about the AZ Sun Program, including the related cost recovery.
The following table summarizes APS’s renewable energy sources currently in operation and
under development. Agreements for the development and completion of future resources are subject to
various conditions, including successful siting, permitting and interconnection of the projects to the
electric grid.
