In operation

• Forest Creek Wind Farm

  The first US wind project, Forest Creek started generating power in 2006. Its 54 Siemens Mark II 2.3 megawatt wind turbines rise 400 feet above the hills of West Texas and have a combined capacity of 124.2 MW. Under ideal conditions, this wind farm can power 37,000 homes, preventing 220,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. Sited along ridgelines in West Texas, Forest Creek shares the landscape with familiar staples of the Texan economy: sheep, cattle and oil wells.

• Munnsville Wind Farm

  Munnsville Wind Farm is our first New York State project. Consisting of 23 GE 1.5 megawatt turbines sited on ridges near Munnsville, New York, this project provides clean, quiet wind power to the Empire State. This 34.5 MW wind farm can power 10,000 homes. Generating this power with wind instead of fossil fuel avoids 62,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually and saves millions of gallons of fresh water.

• Sand Bluff Wind Farm

  Located in West Texas’ Sterling and Glasscock Counties, and with an installed capacity of 90 megawatts, Sand Bluff is adjacent to Forest Creek and Panther Creek wind farms. Our first project using Gamesa turbines, Sand Bluff can power about 27,000 homes while avoiding over 162,000 tons of carbon emissions annually and saving millions of gallons of water. Sited among working sheep and cattle ranches, RWE's wind turbines do their work next to the pump-jacks that built Texas' reputation as an energy producing state.
