TUCSON, April 25 (UPI) -- A solar power array that will meet one-quarter of the energy needs of Fort Huachuca in Arizona is being installed by Tucson Electric Power.
Tucson Electric Power, or TEP, said the array will have a capacity of about 18 megawatts, will be owned and operated by TEP, and will be the largest solar array on any U.S. military base. Its operation will offset more than 58,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year while reducing other emissions associated with generating an equivalent amount of power with fossil fuels.
