1. DEDICATION OF THE APS SOLAR PAVILION AT CHASE FIELD
Greg Schulte, Master of Ceremonies, Radio Voice of the Arizona Diamondbacks
Derrick Hall, President & CEO, Arizona Diamondbacks
Don Brandt, Chairman and CEO, Arizona Public Service Company (APS)
Greg Schulte welcomed guests to Chase Field and the New APS Solar Pavilion, saying
this structure is a beautiful addition to the ballpark and it is also Arizona’s newest solar
power plant. Many entities participated in the effort that was spearheaded by Arizona
Public Service (APS), the Diamondbacks and the Maricopa County Stadium District. The
huge solar sunshade covers much of the patio area and gates leading into Chase Field
and provides shaded relief to those waiting to enter the ballpark. Mr. Schulte said that
APS is celebrating its Green Series Event at Chase Field from April 28 to May 1. He
explained that Chase Field is under the jurisdiction of the Maricopa County Board of
Supervisors, which also serves as the Stadium District Board of Directors.
Diamondback CEO Derrick Hall described the uniqueness of this type of project in a
Major League Baseball Park, and said it further distinguishes the D-backs green
initiative goals among professional sports teams. The structure covers 17,280 square
feet above the plaza area adjacent to ticket windows and entrance doors, and Mr. Hall
said it will enhance fan experience during the hot Phoenix summers as they stand in
line to enter the park. He noted that the Diamondbacks would take on the Chicago
Cubs that night and through the weekend and that APS would host Green Energy
education booths around the ballpark. This innovative project will also be displayed to
baseball fans from around the world during the All-Star Game to be held at Chase Field

in July 2011.
Don Brandt explained that APS will use this new solar power plant as a working
laboratory and a green energy classroom to study new possibilities using urban solar
arrays. The roof of the shade structure consists of 336 solar panels that produce 75
kilowatts of solar power. The amount of energy generated in one year is equivalent to
fueling stadium lights for 11 games, running the Diamondbacks pool for 5 years, or
providing power to 8-10 Phoenix homes. In the future, those driving electric cars to
Chase Field will also be able to recharge their vehicles using solar energy generated
through the solar panels on the Pavilion’s roof and saved in the battery storage system.
The APS Green Series Event will also display the new, 100%-electric Nissan Leaf, and
the 2011 Chevy Volt. These will contrast with several APS historic electric vehicles; a
1915 Detroit Electric, a 1960s Renault (the first electric vehicle to drive cross county), and
an electric Indianapolis racing car. The green display will showcase sustainable living
concepts like renewable energy and energy efficiency. Mr. Brandt said APS is taking
action to expand solar and make Arizona the Solar Capital of the World. There are
already 500 million solar panels around the state. Mr. Brandt recognized and thanked the
Board of Supervisors, the Stadium District Board of Directors and the Arizona
Diamondbacks for partnering with APS on this project.
Supervisor Wilcox said the Maricopa County Stadium District supports these
improvements for the citizens and the children in the community. She noted the boost
Chase Field is giving to downtown Phoenix and said she is proud to be a part of turning
Arizona “green.” She added that as a member of the Board of Supervisors and the
Board of Directors for the Stadium District, she is especially proud of Chase Field – fast
becoming a destination hub for downtown activity, and which is located in the District she
represents, District 5. Ms. Wilcox explained that the Solar Pavilion project at Chase Field
moves Arizona closer to the reality of using the power of the Sun in a smart and
economically useful manner. She noted the addition of the largest construction project
ever attempted by Maricopa County, the Downtown Court Tower, located just west of
Chase Field, and said, “With this and other new developments, downtown Phoenix is
becoming a destination and not just a description.” She congratulated all who helped
make this possible.
Supervisor Stapley expressed his excitement about this new solar project and cited it as
an outstanding example of the good that can result from private and public sectors
working together. He stated that Maricopa County looks for every opportunity to use
solar energy in County facilities and parking structures and thought that this project would
show the community what solar power is all about. He explained his belief that solar
power provides wise decision-making for the future of the Valley of the Sun and
emphasized the importance of using this natural, God-given resource in an intelligent
way.
Supervisor Stapley discussed Maricopa County’s approach to green government, which
is the smart use of solar energy where there is a positive return on the investment. He
explained that using solar energy in the County’s 183 buildings was a wise business
decision that saves energy costs and taxpayer dollars. He added that once again,
Maricopa County is leading the way into new areas that other entities in the nation will
emulate. He congratulated everyone on a beautiful job and thanked APS and the
Diamondbacks for partnering with the County and District to create the Solar Pavilion.
Mr. Schulte thanked everyone for attending the dedication ceremony and called two
mascots “Baxter” and “Solar Man” to the stage to flip the giant switch that sent some
