Duke Energy to build a 200 MW wind farm in Texas
Duke Energy Renewables, a unit of Duke Energy, is set to build a 200 MW Mesteño wind farm that will be located in Starr County, Texas, USA.
The facility will feature 56 3.6 MW Vestas wind turbines of about 590.5 ft tall. It will sell its energy output into the ERCOT market and Duke Energy Renewables will enter into a long-term hedge agreement covering the majority of the expected wind energy production. Construction has begun and will be completed by the end of 2019.
Amshore US Wind provided development support for the project, and Wanzek Construction is the contractor.
The project has received strong local support from the Rio Grande City Consolidated Independent School district, Starr County, Starr County Hospital and South Texas College.
