The Phoenix Suns have a new POWER forward. Today, the Suns, along with Arizona Public Service and the City of Phoenix dedicated the APS SunsPowered Solar Structure – 966 solar panels located on the 5th level of the US Airways Center parking garage. Suns guard Steve Nash, Suns President Brad Casper, APS Chairman and CEO Don Brandt and Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton helped ‘flip-the-switch’ at the dedication ceremony, signifying the start-up of the 227-kilowatt solar system. “The spirit of innovation and environmental consciousness shown by the Suns, APS and the City of Phoenix is something I’m proud to be a part of,” said Nash. “I’ve become very passionate towards environmental issues over the years, so it’s great to know that solar power is now impacting my life both at home and here at work.” “We are excited to dedicate a project that was simply a vision back in 2008,” said Casper. “APS stepped up and helped make that vision a reality here at US Airways Center, powering the arena with clean, renewable energy, enhancing our commitment to sustainability.”
