Pattern Energy has held an opening ceremony for the 200MW Logan’s Gap wind farm in Comanche County, Texas.
The plant consists of 87 Siemens 2.3 MW wind turbines.
It is now operating at full capacity, with Walmart having a 10-year power purchase agreement to acquire 58% of the output from the facility.
Seventeen percent of the expected output will be sold under a 13-year fixed price agreement with a A-/Baa2-rated financial institution.
The remaining 25% of expected output will be sold at ERCOT spot market prices.
Pattern Energy chief executive officer Mike Garland said: “We should all be proud that Logan’s Gap was built using American-made turbines while creating hundreds of local jobs.
“Construction spending injected more than $5 million into the local economy and going forward our Community Benefits Program will support local organizations, including the Comanche Youth Council.
“The facility will now harness the wind of Comanche County to produce clean energy for Walmart, one of America’s leading companies.”
