Operation Cool Shade helps beautify your home and yard while helping you save energy dollars.

Shade trees help save energy by lowering the outside temperature of your home. This can reduce cooling costs by up to twenty percent in just a few years! The energy you don’t use doesn’t need to be generated, which is good for the environment and your wallet.

Trees and their root structure also help prevent soil erosion.

This program is approved by the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) and partially funded by an ACC mandated surcharge on member bills.

Trees Available: Joan Linonetti Texas Live Oak, Desert Willow 'Sweet Bubba Seedless', Desert Willow 'Bubba Jones', Chaste Tree
