Arizona could become a hub for solar energy businesses in the Southwest, according to experts in a new report The report, “Solar Energy Network — Partners for Change,” features a host of Arizona officials who promoting solar energy as a major economic driver, making a case for what Arizona has done to promote the industry.

“I think it’s going to be the biggest industry to hit Arizona in the next 10 to 20 years,” said Matt Fitz-Gerald, team leader for Colliers Solar Energy Network. “Arizona has the business infrastructure, trained and available work force, economic climate, and tax and investment incentives to attract solar energy companies and provide them with a competitive edge.”

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, Greater Phoenix Economic Council President and CEO Barry Broom, and Arizona Corporation Commission Chairwoman Kris Mayes are among 25 industry leaders discussing the state’s effort to provide a better landing spot for solar companies in the report.

Officials have been pushing to put Arizona in a better position to land solar companies as other states lure manufacturing with heavy incentives. The state this year enacted a law providing renewable energy industries with incentives based on the high-paying jobs they bring in.
