New Wind Farm in Texas

Looks like Texas has a new wind farm that's complete and ready to go. Renewable Energy Systems Americas Inc. has just completed at $350 million wind farm, called the Hackberry Wind Project, in Shackelford County, Texas.

The wind farm consists of 72 Siemens wind turbines, which produce 166 megawatts of clean wind energy, enough electricity to power 39,000 average Texas homes. Austin Energy, the electric utility company serving Austin, Texas, will purchase the power produced by the wind farm, as they plans to power the city with 30 percent renewable energy by 2020.
