October 25, 2007 – Vol.12 No.31 Black & Veatch Study: More Than 5,000 MW of Untapped Renewable Energy Resources in Arizona. The study commissioned by Arizona’s three largest utilities shows solar thermal power generation, wind energy, hydropower, biomass and geothermal resources. Arizona Public Service (APS), Salt River Project and Tucson Electric Power (TEP) selected Black & Veatch was selected to conduct the renewable energy assessment because of the company’s global expertise in renewable energy studies and projects. According to the Black & Veatch study, more than 4,300 MW of electricity could be produced using solar thermal generation; 1,500 MW of wind capacity could be developed and as much as 175 MW of electricity generated through a combination of hydropower, biomass and geothermal technologies. Black & Veatch says a further review will be needed to determine the comparative value of developing these in-state renewable energy resources versus purchasing electricity from out of state. Black & Veatch, founded in 1915 is a leading global engineering, consulting and construction company specializing in infrastructure development in energy, water, telecommunications, management consulting, federal and environmental markets. The employee-owned company has more than 100 offices worldwide and has completed projects in more than 100 countries on six continents. (10/23/07)
