Red Horse I & II
COCHISE, ARIZONA
One of the nation’s only utility-scale hybrid solar and wind projects
RED HORSE
SIZE: 71 MW
location: Cochise County, AZ
footprint: 855 acres
Offtake: Tuscon Electric Power
Interconnection: 345 kV
Torch’s first utility-scale project in Arizona was the Red Horse hybrid wind and solar facility. Red Horse combines 55dc MW of solar energy with 30dc MW of wind energy to deliver 71 MWac of combined power to the utility at a single point of interconnection. The project’s innovative structure utilizes a single PPA and interconnection for both the wind and solar phases of the project. This structure maximizes the value of the shared facilities and produces a higher combined capacity factor than could be generated by either stand-alone project.
