Clearway Energy Group (Clearway) announced that it completed a partial repower of the Ocotillo Windpower wind farm (Ocotillo) in Howard County, Texas, USA.
The 55MW wind farm will generate enough electricity each year to power more than 19,000 homes for another decade. In addition, the wind project repower will provide an additional $2 million in property taxes to Howard County and extends landowner lease payments over the same period. The repower replaced major components across the site’s 26 turbines, including blades, generators, gearboxes, and drive train parts for some turbines, and upgraded operating systems for all turbines. The wind farm began its original commercial operations in 2008. Clearway’s public affiliate, Clearway Energy, Inc., acquired the project in 2020 to extend the life of the project. This is Clearway’s fourth wind farm repower in Texas and fifth across its portfolio.
