PHOENIX – Arizona Public Service (APS) has completed its 2016 “all source” request for proposals (RFP) seeking capacity resources. The company signed an agreement with Arlington Valley, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Star West Generation, LLC, to contract for 565 megawatts of capacity from the Arlington Valley combined cycle power plant beginning June 1, 2020 for a total of six years.
