Installed capacity of 400-megawatts of renewable energy
Project overview
Lone Star Wind Farm consists of two phases and is located in west Texas in Shackelford and Callahan Counties, approximately 15 miles northeast of downtown Abilene. With a limited number of rural residences in the area, the land is used primarily for ranching and oil and gas.
Lone Star Wind Farm yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Lone Star Wind Farm is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
