Judge: SRP can go ahead with controversial Pinal County power plant near low-income homes

A judge has granted Salt River Project a green light to expand electricity output at a controversial power plant in Pinal County, ruling in a two-year legal fight.
The Maricopa County Superior Court on Jan. 22 upheld the Arizona Corporation Commission’s approval for SRP to add capacity using natural-gas generators at the Coolidge Generating Station. The plant lies just east of the lower-income, historically Black community of Randolph.
