Coronado's Camp 220-Megawatt Horse Hollow Windfarm Moving Ahead in Texas

---

Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated; Houston, Texas). Horse Hollow Wind Farm LLC, a subsidiary of FPL Energy LLC, a non-regulated subsidiary of FPL Group Incorporated (NYSE:FPL) (Juno Beach, Florida), has started initial site work for the 220.5-megawatt (MW) Horse Hollow Wind Farm near Coronado's Camp in Taylor County, Texas. Horse Hollow will be FPL's second windfarm in Taylor County. FPL also owns the 114 MW Callahan Divide Windfarm in Tuscola, Texas. Horse Hollow will be FPL's seventh windfarm in Texas, bringing the company's total wind generation capacity in the state to 950 MW.

FPL Energy selected D. H. Blattner & Sons Incorporated (Avon, Minnesota) as the general contractor for the project. Construction will be managed from its southwest regional office in Phoenix, Arizona. At the Horse Hollow Windfarm, 147 1.5-MW GE wind turbine/generators will be installed over 22,500 acres. FPL Energy had originally considered installing 230 wind turbine/generators (345-MW), but decreased the project footprint because of Dyess Air Force Base's flight approach and other restrictions. Horse Hollow Windfarm is targeted for commercial start-up by the end of the year, in order to take advantage of the federal Production Tax Credits (PTC).
