Notice of Final Action

    On December 30, 2024, the EPA Region 9 issued a final decision to 
issue a revised permit, PSD Permit No. AZ-98-01-C, to South Point 
Energy Center, LLC. This revised permit pertains to the South Point 
Energy Center, a natural gas-fired electrical generating plant located 
in Mohave Valley, Arizona. The EPA issued the revision pursuant to the 
provisions of the CAA in subchapter I, part C, as amended (42 U.S.C.

section 52.21. Notice of the final permit decision was served on

decision, any person who filed comments on the draft permit or

revised permit became effective on February 3, 2025.
