Plain Energy: Huge New Mexico Wind Project Will Be Capable Of Powering The Equivalent Of 590,000 Homes

Pretty soon the bristly grasses of the high plains won’t be the only thing catching the wind in central New Mexico: Western Spirit Wind, an installation built by the southwestern utility Pattern Energy, is set to deliver more than 1,050 megawatts of renewable energy from four separate wind farms. The Western Spirit Wind project is scheduled to be the largest wind installation in the state, when completed.
