Blue Wing Solar is nearing completion, and has been supplying power in increasing quantities since July. It’s currently producing over 8 mw on peak and is expected to declare commercial operations by December 1 on its full capacity of 13.9 mw.
The Cedro Hill wind farm in Webb county had to delay its COD due to delays in the transmission line upgrade and as of yet has not energized. We expect this to be fully on-line by the end of October.
SOLAR Installed (MW): ~8 and growing as Blue Wing brings more arrays on line
Solar Contracted (MW): 45 (Blue Wing + small applications + new SunEdison)
WIND Installed 10-4-10 (MW): 709 (Cedro Hill awaiting transmission for COD)
WIND Installed 10-31-10 (MW): 859
TOTAL RENEWABLES (MW): 732.5 now, climbing to 884 mw (at least) by end of October
