Salt River Project (SRP), NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, the Arizona State Land Department and Babbitt Ranches celebrated the completion of Babbitt Ranch Energy Center, a 161-megawatt (MW) wind project located on Babbitt Ranches property in Coconino County, north of Flagstaff, Arizona.
Babbitt Ranch Energy Center will play an important role in decarbonizing SRP’s energy portfolio while the company works to meet the energy needs of one of the fastest growing areas of the nation. The wind energy generated by the project will complement SRP’s solar resources by providing energy during evening and nighttime hours when solar energy is not available.
Babbitt Ranch Energy Center features 50 wind turbines that will convert energy from the wind into electricity. A subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources built and owns the project and will oversee operations.
