Roscoe Wind Farm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 209 megawatt (MW) Roscoe Wind Farm in Roscoe, Texas covers nearly 30,000 acres (120 km²) across three counties. It will help Texas meet its renewable energy goal of 5,000 new megawatts of power from renewable sources by 2015.[1]

The Roscoe Wind Farm, Airtricity's third Texas project, uses 209 1-MW Mitsubishi 1000A turbines. Airtricity's fourth Texas wind farm, the 126 MW Champion Wind Farm project, is located five miles (8 km) from the Roscoe site.[1]

In 2006, Texas became the state leader in installed wind capacity in the USA.[1]
