Innergex Renewable Energy has started commercial operations at the over 350MW Foard City wind farm in Texas.
The project comprises 139 GE turbines spread over 12,726 hectares in Foard County.
It has a 12-year power purchase agreement with Vistra Energy for 300MW of the output, with the remainder to receive a merchant market price, Innergex said.
Innergex chief investment and development officer Jean Trudel said: “The commissioning of Foard City is an important milestone for us as it is the largest wind farm project ever built by Innergex.
“With three wind farms now in operation in Texas as well as one solar photovoltaic project on the way, we’ll have an impressive installed capacity of more than 1000MW in the Lone Star State.
“With even more solar projects currently in development in Hawaii and Ohio, we’re continuing our growth by strategically strengthening our presence in the United States.”
