The CAP lifts Colorado River water approximately 3,000 feet from Lake Havasu to the terminus south of Tucson.

In the past, most of the power needed to move this water came from a single source, the Navajo Generating Station, which closed in 2019. Now, to manage its power needs, CAP has developed a diversified power portfolio, which includes a combination of long-term and market purchases.

CAP will continue to develop and evaluate this diverse power resource portfolio to support the delivery of a reliable water supply in a cost-effective manner.
