ROSCOE (Abilene Reporter News) – Phase IV of the Roscoe Wind Complex began operation Thursday, making it the world’s largest functioning wind farm.
Equipped with 627 turbines capable of generating more than 780 megawatts, the wind farm is the flagship project for E.ON North America.
The Roscoe Wind Complex first began generating electricity in February 2008 when Phase One was complete. Phase Two went live one month later, and Phase Three began operations in March.
Altogether, the complex can provide power for 230,000 homes.
