RWE Welcomes Another U.S. Wind Farm to its Portfolio

The 151 MW Peyton Creek Wind Farm located in Matagorda County, Texas, has achieved commercial operation. The project is powered by 48 Nordex 3.15 MW turbines and can generate enough electricity to power more than 45,000 homes.

“The completion of this project is an important statement of our intent to grow our portfolio of renewables projects,” said Anja-Isabel Dotzenrath, CEO of RWE Renewables. “With our experience and expertise, we are well-positioned to take advantage of changing dynamics in the renewable energy industry.”

As the North American wind market is one of the focus markets of RWE, the company expects more onshore wind farms in the U.S. to come alive in the next months: The Cranell Wind Farm, a 220 MW facility in Refugio County, and Big Raymond, a 440 MW facility in Willacy, Cameron and Hidalgo counties, are both located in Texas. The Boiling Springs Wind Farm is a 150 MW wind farm and RWE´s first project in Oklahoma.
