Power plants set for LV, Reno

Tuesday, March 14, 2000 | 11:09 a.m.

Pinnacle West Energy, a sister to Arizona Public Service Co. of Phoenix, is joining a Houston company in construction of four power plants in Arizona and Nevada.

Pinnacle West Energy, like APS a subsidiary of Pinnacle West Capital Corp., is sharing the projects with Reliant Energy Power Generation Inc. of Houston.

One of the shared projects will be a plant already under construction west of Phoenix. Two others will be in the Las Vegas area and one other will be in Northern Nevada, probably near Reno.

The intent is to market electricity to the Southwest under power deregulation, said Bill Post, Pinnacle West Capital president.

Each company is to own a half interest in the projects that include five generating units each capable of producing more than 500 megawatts.
