Arlington Valley is a 600 MW natural gas facility located on approximately 3,000 acres of land about 50 miles southwest of Phoenix, Arizona. The facility sells capacity and electricity to an investment grade load serving utility under a tolling agreement that was extended through October 2031. In 2019, a heat rate call options agreement (HRCO) was entered into with an investment-grade counterparty to cover the non-summer months through 2025. The Arlington Valley facility is adjacent to the Palo Verde hub, allowing additional capacity and energy to be sold into the Desert Southwest (DSW), or the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) wholesale markets when not called upon to support the HRCO.
