Irvington Campus Modernization
New Facilities to Support More Sustainable Service
Efficient natural gas generators at our largest local power plant will support the expansion of TEP's wind and solar energy resources.
New, efficient generators will replace two older natural gas-fired units at the H. Wilson Sundt Generating Station in Tucson, improving the plant’s performance while reducing operating costs, water usage and emissions.
In March 2018, the ACC approved a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility (CEC) for TEP’s Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine (RICE) Generation and Irvington 138-Kilovolt Transmission Line Relocation project.
TEP is planning to install a flexible, efficient new type of natural gas generator in Tucson that will support the expansion of solar, wind and other clean energy resources while using less water and reducing overall emissions.
TEP plans to install new generating resources and make other improvements at its Irvington Campus, located southeast of East Irvington Road and South Alvernon Way in Tucson.
