Arizona Solar Giant Plans Massive Project | Tucson News

from Tucson News Today | 2 Min Now | The Daily News Now!

A Spanish energy giant, RepSol, is set to build a colossal solar and battery storage complex in Arizona’s Three Points — potentially covering 2,500 to 3,500 acres, or even more — with construction slated for late 2027 and completion by 2029. The project, on Arizona State Trust Land, could generate $200 million in tax revenue for local services and fund public schools through future land auctions. But not everyone’s thrilled: environmentalists worry about habitat loss, while residents demand clearer answers on grid connections and exact project boundaries. As Pima County prepares to rezone the land, this massive renewable push marks RepSol’s latest U.S. expansion — and sparks heated debate over progress versus preservation.
