Sammons Enterprises chief executive officer Heather Kreager said: “Midway’s location near Texas’ wind-rich Gulf Coast, and its proximity to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas’ (ERCOT) South Hub, position the development to fill an energy gap that will widen as coal-generation in ERCOT is retired.
“By continuing to work with Apex Clean Energy, who will manage construction efforts, we are confident this project will be a valuable asset in our growing renewable energy portfolio.”
The Midway Wind farm will be equipped with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy turbines, and the site is expected to begin commercial operations in December.
