Windthorst II Wind Farm located in Windthorst, Texas, approximately 110 miles northwest of Dallas, was recently completed. OwnEnergy developed the project and, a fund managed by asset manager BlackRock, purchased a majority interest in the project in December 2013.
Mortenson Construction was responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction of the project, including the erection of 28 2.4-MW Siemens turbines; foundations; underground collection; 69kv substation and access roads. Approximately 160 jobs were created throughout the course of construction.
The Windthorst II project is the 26th wind facility the renewable energy contractor has built in the state out of a total of 140 wind projects completed or under construction throughout North America.
“We are very pleased to have entered into a relationship with OwnEnergy as they continue to grow their wind portfolio and make their mark in the industry,” said Tim Maag, vice president and general manager of Mortenson's Wind Energy Group. “We applaud their growing commitment to building projects with local ownership.”
