Walmart energy vice-president Mark Vanderhelm said: "Walmart has a goal to be supplied by 100% renewable energy, and sourcing from wind energy projects, like the Logan’s Gap Wind Facility, is a core component in the mix.

"The energy we’ll procure from this facility represents nearly one-fifth of the US portion of our goal to source seven billion kilowatt hours of renewable energy by 2020. That’s a significant leap forward on our renewable energy journey."

While 25% of the remaining power from the facility will be sold at ERCOT spot market prices, around 17% will be purchased by a A-/Baa2-rated financial institution under a 13-year fixed price agreement.

The renewable power plant will be connected to the Dallas-Fort Worth area via Oncor’s 138KV ComancheZephyr line, and has a capacity to power 50,000 homes in Texas a year.
