Why

Tehachapi's weather

Tehachapi sits at about 4,000 feet on the western edge of the Mojave Desert, where the San Joaquin Valley meets the high desert. That elevation and the pass geography give it cool summers, cold winters, and strong winds year-round — some of the most consistent wind energy in the state, hence the windmills.
