RWE’s 200-MW Montgomery Ranch Wind Farm under construction in Texas
In Texas, renewable energy company RWE announced that its 200 megawatt (MW) Montgomery Ranch Wind Farm is in construction in Foard County, Texas.
The Montgomery Ranch project raises RWE’s installed wind capacity in the Texas State to 4.3 gigawatts (GW), enough capacity to power more than 1.2 million homes.
“Wind projects such as Montgomery Ranch contribute to a cleaner, stronger economy and help create a more resilient energy infrastructure in Texas,” said Mark Noyes, CEO RWE Clean Energy, a subsidiary of RWE AG. “Last summer ERCOT set 11 new demand records and we are on track to meet, if not exceed, that record this summer. With our planned build out of renewable resources in Texas, we are contributing to a more diverse grid that is flexible and responsive to meet future energy demands in the Lone Star State.”
RWE Clean Energy operates a portfolio of 8 GW of renewable energy projects, including more than 3 GW of solar generation, with the capacity to power more than 2.4 million U.S. households.
