Cochise County is home to Fort Huachuca, which is working to support Department of Defense sustainability goals by installing renewable energy generation capacity on site. There are a few other potential solar projects, and the Red Horse project, which was wind-only in 2013, was re-permitted for wind and solar and is now under construction.
