Quick Facts
- With a net summer capacity of 3,937 megawatts, Arizona's Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station is the largest nuclear power plant, the largest net generator of electricity, and the second-largest power plant by capacity of any kind in the nation.
- In 2020, Arizona ranked fourth in the nation in solar-powered electricity generation at utility-scale and small-scale installations. Solar energy provided the state with more power than all of Arizona's other nonhydroelectric renewable energy sources combined.
- In part because of its large population, low industrial sector energy use, and mild winter climate, only five states consumed less energy per capita than Arizona in 2018.
- Arizona's Navajo Generating Station, the state's second-largest power plant, closed in 2019, removing 2,250 megawatts of Arizona's coal-fired capacity from service. It was the only customer of the state's last remaining operating coal mine, which also closed in 2019.
- Natural gas, nuclear power, and coal provided 88% of Arizona's utility-scale electricity net generation in 2020.
