Engie has started commercial operations at the 30MW Seymour Hills wind farm in the US state of Texas.
The project features 12 GE 2.52MW turbines with 127-metre rotors and was constructed by Blattner Energy.
The total capital investment for the wind farm was more than $50m, and the project employed nearly 150 people during the height of construction.
Electricity from Seymour Hills is being supplied to corporate customers, Ingersoll Rand and Akamai Technologies under separate power purchase agreements.
Seymour Hills is part of a portfolio acquired in early 2018 by a subsidiary of Engie North America from Infinity Power Holdings, a joint venture between Infinity Renewables and MAP Energy.
The wind farm has already generated significant economic development in the local area and will continue to do so over its life with millions of dollars in annual payments to landowners and to local taxing authorities, Engie said.
It added that the project will contribute to its goal to build at least 2.5GW of wind and solar capacity in the next three years in the US and Canada.
