Unlike some Western regions, there is no shortage of power in Tempe.
Salt River Project (SRP) and Southwest Gas can supply the
electrical and gas needs of your business.
The mission of SRP is to deliver ever-improving contributions to the
people we serve through the provision of low cost, reliable water and
power, and community programs, to ensure the vitality of the Salt River
Valley.
SRP provides
electricity to retail customers in the Phoenix area. It operates or
participates in seven major power plants and numerous other generating
stations, including thermal, nuclear and hydroelectric sources. It also
delivers nearly 1 million acre-feet of water to a service area in
central Arizona. An extensive water delivery system is maintained and
operated by the Association, including reservoirs, wells, canals and
irrigation laterals..
