The generation of electrical power is a growth industry in Arizona, with 19 power plants proposed for various areas of the state. The surge in the number of power plants wanting to operate within Arizona is a relatively recent occurrence. The movement began in the fall of 1999 when a power plant was proposed for the Kingman area and continues with Nogales and Vail mentioned as possible future sights. One official remarked that Arizona promises to be a hub for power plants.
