Shell WindEnergy Inc. and Luminant, a subsidiary of TXU Corp., have announced a joint development agreement for a 3,000MW wind project in the Texas Panhandle and to work together on other renewable energy developments in Texas.
Shell and Luminant will also explore the use of compressed air storage, in which excess power could be used to pump air underground for later use in generating electricity. This technology will further improve reliability and grid usage and becomes more economical with large-scale projects, such as proposed for Briscoe County.
