E.ON partners with GE to repower two wind farms in West Texas
E.ON has announced that it is partnering with GE to repower its Panther Creek I and Panther Creek II wind farms in West Texas. The repowering includes the replacement of a significant portion of the wind farm components, effectively increasing the annual production for all 172 wind turbine generators (WTGs) totaling 258 MW on the sites.
The erection and commissioning of the project will be conducted by GE as part of the equipment delivery contract and is expected to be complete in Q3 2019.
Panther Creek I came online in September 2008 and consists of 95 GE 1.5 MW SLE turbines for a total of 142.5 MW. It is the first of a three-phase project in West Texas and is located in Howard and Glasscock counties.
Panther Creek II came online in December 2008 and consists of 77 GE 1.5 MW SLE turbines for a total of 115.5 MW. Its footprint spans parts of Glasscock and Sterling counties, Texas.
