The Blythe Energy Center was acquired by AltaGas in 2014 and is a 507 MW natural gas-fired combined cycle power plant located in Blythe, California. The power plant is strategically located between California and Arizona and has the ability to serve the western states of California, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. The facility is underpinned with a seven-year power purchase agreement with Southern California Edison and is directly connected to Southern California Gas and interconnects to the power grid via a 67-mile transmission line.
