As part of its 1,230MW Texas-New Mexico wind energy initiative, Xcel Energy will purchase other development assets from NextEra, including the 478MW Hale Wind Energy Project, developed by TGE.

"Fiber Winds has provided substantial economic impact to the local host area and that includes funds from additional tax revenue, landowner royalties, and other contributions."

TGE's chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) John Billingsley said: “We look forward to supporting NextEra in commencing project construction following regulatory approvals for both Fiber Winds Energy and Hale Wind Energy.

“Like many other wind energy projects in West Texas, Fiber Winds has provided substantial economic impact to the local host area and that includes funds from additional tax revenue, landowner royalties, and other contributions, such as the creation of local jobs.”

The Fiber Winds Energy is situated across 10,500 acres of leased farmland and represents the second phase of the Crosby County windfarm, TGE’s community-sponsored energy development initiated in 2009.
