YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Invenergy held a ribbon cutting Friday for a new solar power and battery energy storage center bringing clean and reliable energy to Yuma.

Yuma Solar is Invenergy's 1st solar energy facility in Arizona, and its 11th project to successfully complete development in the Copper State. APS is purchasing the power from the technology to better serve customers.

"Projects like this help to ensure that, you know, the cost of power is reliable, affordable, clean, so no emissions coming from all of this and stable, so it's there exactly when you need it," said Paul Burman, Invenergy Director of Renewable Development.

The center has 70 megawatts of solar energy and energy storage. It brings power to 21,000 American homes and plans to invest $30 million directly into the community.
