	*SCPPA Participants:* Anaheim, Azusa, Banning, Burbank, Colton, Glendale, and Pasadena.

Year Built: In Development

Peak Plant Capacity: 200 MW

Future Plans: Construction is scheduled to begin in 2012

Seven SCPPA members are working with EnviroMission USA to install this solar energy project in the Arizona desert.
This is an innovative technology that relies on a Solar Tower power plant, sometimes referred to as a "Solar Chimney" or "Solar Updraft Tower."
Solar Tower technology uses solar energy to heat air beneath a large translucent collector (greenhouse) that in turn creates a constant flow of air to drive turbines. One of the many strengths of the Solar Tower technology is its ability to generate utility scale power reliably day and night without the use of water.
The Solar Tower facility is anticipated to generate more than 1,000,000 MWhs of renewable energy per year.

Check the EnviroMission website for animation and documentary footage, describing plans for this Project.

Note: SCPPA has approved the La Paz Project Power Purchase Agreement and option for the purchase of power from a second 200 MW Solar Tower (among other agreements) subject to the approval of each SCPPA Member's Power Sales Agreement. Authorization to sign the agreements was approved by SCPPA Board of Directors on October 21, 2010. (Resolution 2010-105.)
