Clearway Energy has repowered its Cedro Hill wind farm in Webb County, Texas, increasing its capacity to 160 MW with new, more efficient equipment. The project created over 200 construction jobs and involved replacing blades and nacelles on 100 turbines.
As part of its sustainability commitment, Clearway collaborated with Wanzek Construction to recycle or divert all existing materials, including fiberglass, from landfills. Originally commissioned in 2010, Cedro Hill supplies power under a long-term purchase agreement with CPS Energy, which has extended its contract to support its renewable energy goals.
The $269 million investment will contribute $27 million in landowner payments and property taxes over the project's lifetime. This is Clearway’s fifth wind farm repower in Texas and sixth across its portfolio, totalling over 700 MW of upgrades.
