Our renewable resources
Tucson Electric Power has an expanding portfolio of solar arrays, wind farms and other clean renewable resources to help us provide safe, reliable and affordable electric service to our community.
We’re working to reduce carbon emissions 80 percent by 2035. These ambitious targets were established as part of our latest Integrated Resource Plan to ensure that we’re doing our part to support global efforts to combat climate change.
The dashboard above includes the output from our largest renewable energy resources. It does not include energy produced by private solar arrays. The output shown for the Wilmot Energy Center includes the combined real-time output of its solar panels and its energy storage system, minus any energy being used to charge the batteries.

This page includes details about all the energy we deliver to all our customers, including those who have contracted to purchase renewable energy for themselves. To ensure that the energy these customers buy isn’t also being counted for others, we provide them with tracking reports that remove renewable energy dedicated to serve other customers.
