Solar Project Updates
As of June 2, 2025, GRICUA has officially begun to receive power from the Box Canyon Solar Project. GRICUA has a nearly 20-megawatt share of the 300-megawatt solar project located near Florence, AZ through a 20-year power purchase agreement.

The Box Canyon Solar Project continues GRICUA’s efforts to diversify power consumption in the Gila River Indian Community towards greater use of renewable energy. In the fall of 2024 GRICUA interconnected with and began to receive power from the Gila River Indian Community’s Solar Over the Canal Project.
By the end of this year, 2025, GRICUA will break ground and begin construction of GRICUA’s own Lone Butte Solar Project which will be located right here on the Gila River Indian Community.
Projects like these, with their majority of fixed costs, will be strong contributors to GRICUA’s continued and future rate stabilization efforts.
Stay tuned as we continue to move towards a future of majority renewable energy consumption and continue the Community’s tradition of being good stewards of the environment and resources.
