The Kyrene power plant is a 573.7 MW natural gas-fired facility located in Maricopa County, Arizona. It is owned and operated by Salt River Project. The plant began operating in 1952 and consists of seven generators utilizing a mix of technologies, including natural gas fired combined cycle, natural gas fired combustion turbine, and natural gas steam turbine configurations. Kyrene is considered a hybrid plant.
In the most recent year of reported data, Kyrene generated 1,008,846 MWh of electricity, operating at a capacity factor of 20.0%. The plant's output is managed within the Salt River Project balancing authority, which falls under the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region. Kyrene ranks as the 20th largest power plant in Arizona out of 26, and 429th nationally out of 945 plants.

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.
