en.Wedoany.com Reported, U.S. private power producer Invenergy announced that it has reached a significant agreement with a subsidiary of Tallgrass to secure fuel supply for up to three new natural gas power plant projects in Maricopa and Yuma counties, Arizona. According to the agreement, Invenergy will become the primary shipper on new natural gas infrastructure to support its power plant development plan.
Daniel Runyan, Senior Vice President of Development at Invenergy, stated: "The company has been operating in Arizona for a decade, working with communities to support energy needs. As electricity demand rises, natural gas is crucial for maintaining reliable and affordable power supply. This long-term supply agreement with Tallgrass demonstrates our commitment to the state and our customers." Energy demand in Arizona is projected to grow by over 40% by 2031, driven by population growth, manufacturing, and data center expansion, but limited interstate pipeline capacity poses supply challenges.
Adam Schiche, Vice President of Business Development at Tallgrass, pointed out: "Natural gas and renewable energy are key to providing low-cost electricity and helping the U.S. maintain competitiveness in AI technology. We are proud to partner with Invenergy to power the next generation of infrastructure." The natural gas infrastructure developed by Tallgrass will deliver fuel directly to Invenergy's facilities, targeting advanced manufacturing and emerging technologies, aiming to enhance regional energy reliability.
Greg LaVann, President and CEO of the Greater Yuma Economic Development Corporation, emphasized: "Energy resilience and redundancy are the foundation of a modern economy. This collaboration shows that the Greater Yuma region is becoming a destination for companies requiring reliable energy, and the new infrastructure will strengthen our utility resources." Jonathan Lines, Vice Chairman of the Yuma County Board of Supervisors, added: "Sustained growth is placing pressure on our energy systems. Investing to address supply challenges is crucial to supporting economic development and population needs." This partnership represents a significant step in strengthening Arizona's energy system, supporting long-term economic expansion, and ensuring businesses and communities have access to reliable, affordable energy.
