Cordia Energy is planning to add a fourth water chilling and circulation plant to serve its downtown Phoenix customer base.
The proposed plant will sit on 2.67 gross acres at the NWC of 6th and McKinley streets, with a building footprint of 12,136SF. Other media outlets reported last week that the plant was to be a huge development and built underground, neither of which is correct.
Cordia’s three downtown Phoenix plants comprise a chilled water system capable of providing more than 27,000 tons of cooling and storing 100,000 ton-hours of ice for additional cooling. The plants use electric chillers to maintain a supply of cold water to individual buildings’ cooling systems via an underground pipe network.
