By the end of the year E.ON Climate & Renewables (EC&R) will have completed construction on its' Papalote Creek wind farm, located in San Patricio County north of Corpus Christi. The wind farm will have 109 wind turbines that will produce 179.85 megawatts of power and will be able to power over 50,000 homes.
The city of San Antonio's CPS Energy, the nation's largest municipally owned energy company, provides both gas and electric service to our city. Last year EC&R and CPS Energy signed a fifteen year agreement to buy most of the energy output from the Papalote Creek wind farm.
Headquarters for EC&R is located in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Very cool Shirley - We need more wind farms.
Shirley - few years back we drove up to New Mexico and along the route we saw many wind turbines. Sure wish we could see more of the old windmills but look like we will have to settle for a newer model to capture the wind and generate power.
Howdy there Shirley
Congrats to Y'all, on the wind farm. Up in this here area over hafe the folks don't like the idea of wind farms. They get all up in arms, when someone starts talking about them. I'm starting to think folks here just don't like change. Even when its good for everyone.
Mary, More wind farms, more solar power, more energy from new sources.
C&C, I have seen these in West Texas and in California, too.
That's kind of funny, Dale. Maybe that's because they don't have the wide open spaces and feel that the wind farms would be in their back yard. Or maybe some other reason.
