    Trico Electric Cooperative is a non-profit electric cooperative serving over 45,000 customers in northwestern Arizona. Torch partnered with Trico to develop the co-op’s first community-scale solar project near the town of Marana. Torch worked closely with Trico to develop a solar facility that was tailored to the unique needs of the region and local customer base. Today, Avion Solar generates enough power for up to 2,100 residential homes in the Trico service territory, or approximately 4.5% of the co-op’s overall electricity needs. Torch assisted Trico with an innovative structure which allows Trico to own the generating asset while fully monetizing investment tax credit for its member rate-payers.
