Western Wind is a 10.5-megawatt wind and solar farm developed by Western Wind Energy. It is the first utility-scale system in Arizona to combine and produce energy from wind and sunshine. The output is sold to UES through a 20-year purchase power agreement.

The facility has five 2-megawatt Gamesa wind turbines and a 500-kilowatt, polycrystalline silicon PV array. In total, Western Wind provides UES with enough generating capacity to power about 2,200 homes.
