Tucson Electric Power seeks more renewable energy, plus gas
Tucson Electric Power has out put its biggest call for renewable energy yet as part of long-term resource plans to cut its climate-warming carbon dioxide output by 80% by 2035, as it retires coal plants that have powered Arizona for decades. But TEP’s latest plan also would add a significant amount of generation from burning […] Tucitnik Electric Power (TEP) is seeking more renewable energy and gas resources to offset coal plant retirements and increase use of variable wind and solar energy. The company will need to consider several key questions throughout the process, including how much will cost, impact on customer bills, and how soon can it start providing service to customers. TEP spokesman Joe Barrios said the resources will help support greater renewable use and support reliability. Energy efficiency and demand-response systems have been recognized as significant resources for reliability.

“Those new resources will help offset coal plant retirements and support greater use of variable wind and solar energy,” TEP spokesman Joe Barrios said. “With each all-source request for proposal, we’ll need to consider several questions throughout the process. How much will a new resource cost? What kind of impact might it have on customer bills? How will it support reliability, and how soon can it start providing service to customers? We need to balance a number of considerations.”
“We’re really pleased to see the company starting to show the true value of energy efficiency and demand-response systems have on the system, and allowing it to come through not just as separate customer programs, but to have them recognize that these are resources that show up for reliability purposes in a really significant way,” Potter said.
