Eon has started construction of the 151MW Peyton Creek wind farm in Texas.
The project, which is located in Matagorda County, will feature 48 Nordex 3.15MW turbines.
It is expected to be commissioned by the end of the year, Eon said.
Eon chief operating officer North America Silvia Ortin said: “Peyton Creek will be our 24th wind project in North America and construction, along with our long-term operation of this project, will deliver clean, low-cost energy to south Texas and generate millions of dollars in tax revenue and land lease payments.
“We appreciate the support of the local community and are excited to significantly diversify the tax base and employment opportunities in the area.”
Matagorda County economic development corporation executive director Mike Ferdinand said: “We welcome Peyton Creek wind farm to the community.
“This project brings diversification to our local energy sector and creates new investment that will enhance our tax base. We wish them well as they begin construction and operation in our great county.”
Eon said it developed, built and operates over 3873MW of wind, solar and energy storage plants in the US.
