Griffith Energy LLC, an affiliate of infrastructure investment firm ArcLight Capital Partners LLC, has announced plans to construct a 2-MW behind-the-meter solar energy project at the Griffith Generating Station located in Mohave County, Arizona. This innovative project aims to not only meet Griffith’s auxiliary electricity requirements but also reduce the reliance on natural gas and water consumption.

The first phase of the project, currently 80% complete, involves the installation of 700.3 KW of rooftop-mounted solar panels. The second phase, scheduled for completion by early 2024, will incorporate approximately 1.3 MW of ground-mounted solar panels with single-axis tracking technology. During its peak, the project is expected to employ 25 local construction personnel.

In addition to the behind-the-meter solar project at Griffith, ArcLight, in collaboration with its affiliates Griffith, Griffith Solar LLC, and Elevate Renewables F7 LLC, is actively developing a 25-MW solar project complemented by a 25-MW four-hour battery energy storage system. This venture, accompanied by future expansion prospects, aims to further enhance clean energy solutions in Mohave County.
