Prescott Valley, Arizona, is anticipated to save more than $1.5 million in electrical costs over the next quarter century due to new solar treatments that will be added to the city's water pump station and the wastewater treatment plant.

Smart Capital and Wilson Electric in Tempe, Arizona, will partner on the construction and maintenance of the four units to be added at the water pump stations and the wastewater treatment plant.

"The town of Prescott Valley is excited for construction of the solar projects to begin. We look forward to our partnership with Smart Energy Capital and Wilson Electric," said Kim Moon, representative from Prescott Valley. "The ability to purchase affordable solar power helps our community, and the APS solar incentives have helped make it possible."

The new installations are expected to produce 2.7 million kilowatt hours of solar power in the first year it is in use.

Another renewable energy project that will soon be in construction in Arizona is a 10[-]megawatt solar photovoltaic array located near Kingman that will provide clean energy to customers of UniSource Energy Services.
