Gila Bend Hybrid is a 68 MW hybrid power plant located in Maricopa County, Arizona. The plant, which combines solar photovoltaic generation with battery energy storage, began operating in 2014. It is owned by Pinnacle West Capital and operated by Arizona Public Service Company (APS). The facility utilizes single-axis tracking for its solar panels and has a 96 MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) providing 3 hours of duration. Gila Bend Hybrid ranks 52nd out of 68 power plants in Arizona and 567th nationally out of 1205 plants.
The plant's primary fuel source is listed as "MWH," indicating its reliance on electricity generated from renewable sources. In its most recent year of operation, Gila Bend Hybrid generated 84,700 MWh of electricity, achieving a capacity factor of 14.2%. The plant operates within the Arizona Public Service Company balancing authority and is part of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region. Financial data is available for the plant from LBNL Solar.

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.
