The ranch on which it is built is used for raising cattle and deer and is also the site of the West Texas Wind Farm Power Project, described below. Given the right legislative environment, NWP plan to develop it to a full potential of 250MW.

Texas Windmill, Wind Energy in Texas, Texas First Wind Farm

Located in the Delaware Mountains of West Texas, close to the Guadalupe Mountains National park, this successful wind farm is only a few miles from the highest peak in the Lone Star State. The farm is owned by the General Land Office & Lower Colorado River Authority. It is a 35 MW producing successful venture located in Culberson County, Texas. This farm has been cranking out power since go-live in 1995.wind farm texas

The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) teamed with the General Land Office GLO) and private industry to develop this commercial wind power plant, the first in Texas. The Texas Wind Power Project, located in Culberson County in West Texas, has 112 Kenetech 33M-VS wind turbines capable of generating 35 megawatts of electricity — enough to power 12,000 to 15,000 homes. Since the ribbon-cutting for the Texas Wind Power Project in 1995, the Texas’ Permanent School Fund earned more than $750.000 from it. The project is expected to earn more than $3 million for the PSF and create $300 million in increased economic activity over the 25-year lease period.

Well, I might as well let people know.  This Texas’ Permanent School Fund sounds great, but fact is, the CCISD, Culberson County Independant School District is very poor and having a hard time.  I can’t see what benefit that this wind farm has brought the local community of Van Horn, the county seat.  Aside from a guy or two that now have jobs watching the wind farm and maintaining, the schhol district is still very poor and not benefiting from the wind farm in any visible way.  The power in fact is transmitted all the way to Austin on some of the county’s wind farms.

Michigan County Wind Turbine Ordinance?

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Ottowa County in the state of Michigan plans to design rules for regulating wind turbines around homes and businesses.  These visionary leaders are working on a model ordinance as an example for local municipalities to use.  The leaders see the need to regulate the placement of wind turbines around homes and businesses.

“No one seems to know what to do with wind turbines and everyone seems to want to treat all of them the same,” said Mark Knudsen, Ottawa County Planning and Grants director. In many areas of the county what people would like to install are roof-mounted turbines or other smaller units, which require a different type of ordinance.”

The leaders say that oil prices are going up.  Many taxpayers have inquired about putting up wind turbines to reduce their energy costs or to reduce their “carbon footprints.”

Recently they hosted a seminar on the use of wind energy and more than 400 people turned out. Although many thought it to be too expensive, more than 100 people have asked for more information as to how they can do this.

The cost of installing wind energy is still expensive, but developments are coming to reduce the price, putting small units within the financial reach of many residents. Leaders say they plan to host another seminar later in the year.
