Arizona is a home to the largest nuclear power plant in the US – Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. Besides nuclear power, the state also relies on coal and natural gas for electricity production. These three resources together provide nine-tenths of all electricity while the rest mainly comes from hydropower and solar energy. The greatest share of hydroelectricity is produced by Glen Canyon Dam and Hoover Dam, which are among largest plants in America.
