CMC Arizona Receives First Renewable Energy from Solar Array
Written by Sandy Williams
Commercial Metal Company’s micro mill in Mesa, Ariz., has begun receiving renewable energy from the Salt River Project solar electricity generation plant. The Saint Solar 100-megawatt utility-based solar array is located in Coolidge, Ariz., and will provide renewable energy to CMC Steel Arizona and others in the SRP community.
CMC Arizona, constructed in 2009, uses 98 percent recycled scrap as its raw materials. The CO2Scope1 greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption intensities are approximately eight times lower than the global steelmaking average, said CMC.
