12 JULY 2012 - HOLBROOK, AZ: Wind turbines at the Dry Lake Wind Farm Project near Holbrook, AZ. Dry Lake Wind Power Project is Arizona's first modern, commercial-scale wind farm. Iberdrola Renewables, LLC developed and built the project on a combination of private, state and federal lands in northeastern Arizona. Landowners include the Rocking Chair Ranch, Arizona State Land Department and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The project's 30 Suzlon wind turbines generate 63 megawatts (MW) of electricity for Salt River Project (SRP), the third-largest public power utility in the nation, serving customers in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. SRP estimates that's enough electricity to power approximately 15,000 average Arizona homes. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
