The Agua Fria power plant is located in Maricopa County, Arizona. It is owned and operated by Salt River Project. The plant has a total capacity of 737.5 MW and is considered a hybrid facility, utilizing multiple generation technologies including natural gas-fired combustion turbines, natural gas steam turbines, solar photovoltaic, and battery energy storage. Agua Fria consists of 10 generators and first began operating in 1957. The battery energy storage system (BESS) has a capacity of 100 MWh and a duration of 4 hours, utilizing lithium-ion battery chemistry (LIB). The solar photovoltaic array uses single-axis tracking.
Agua Fria operates within the Salt River Project balancing authority and the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region. In the most recent year of available data, the plant generated 244,296 MWh, resulting in a capacity factor of 3.7%. Agua Fria is ranked as the 8th largest power plant out of 26 in Arizona, and 282nd out of 945 nationally.

This plant's balancing authority participates in CAISO's Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM). Direct nodal pricing data is not yet available.
No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
