The turbines will be installed across a suite of Western Spirit Wind projects. These comprise more than 1GW of New Mexico wind energy entering construction later this year. The turbines will power 590,000 homes.

The Western Spirit Transmission Line will also begin construction this year. New Mexico Renewable Energy Transmission Authority owns this project, which Pattern Energy will co-develop.

Pattern Energy CEO Mike Garland said: “Our turbine order with GE Renewable Energy is the next step in building one of the largest wind power facilities in New Mexico, helping the state to become a major renewable energy producer.

“Western Spirit Wind and the Western Spirit Transmission Line will bring more than a thousand construction jobs to New Mexico and billions of dollars in economic benefit, while creating a significant new source of clean power.”
