Texas - E.ON Completes Giant 458-MW Wind Farm
E.ON announced the completion of its 457.5-MW Panther Creek wind farm in Big Spring, Texas. Phases 1 and 2 of the three-phase, 305-turbine wind farm became operational in the first quarter 2009. The completion of the third phase makes it among the largest wind farms in the U.S. The largest facility remains the 736-MW Horse Hollow wind farm, although other projects are expected to vie for top bragging rights in the coming months. Panther Creek can now generate enough power to supply 135,000 Texan homes, according to the company.
E.ON plans to invest $11.5 billion in renewable generation and climate protection activities worldwide between 2007 and 2011. “E.ON Climate & Renewables remains committed to the U.S. market, and completion of Panther Creek and other 2009 projects have positioned us as one of the most active builders in the U.S.,” said Patrick Woodson, chief development officer of EC&R North America.
