We’re especially proud to partner in building new renewables—like solar and wind—and pairing them with battery projects that provide reliable and fossil-free electricity for our customers.

Project Map

WestLight Energy partners on innovative wind, solar, small hydro, geothermal, and energy storage projects that deliver clean electricity and enhance grid reliability. Through mid and long-term procurement contracts lasting several years to decades, we support the construction of new renewable energy and storage facilities while ensuring a sustainable and affordable supply of clean power for our community. These projects, including large-scale wind farms in New Mexico and solar-plus-storage installations in California, not only meet customers’ electricity demands, but also strengthen the grid by providing clean and reliable capacity during peak periods.
