The tallest wind turbine goes online with the completion of the Snyder Texas wind farm. EnelSpA reached new heights and has completed the wind farm between Abilene and Lubbock with 21 3.0 megawatt turbines towering 345 feet. This is the first of several wind farms to come online over the next year.

The Snyder project - where the turbine towers are so tall because wind conditions are best at that height -- will produce energy sufficient to power more than 12,000 average Texas homes annually. Snyder Wind will be operated and maintained by Enel North America, Inc. Power will be sold into the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). Snyder and Fortis Energy Marketing & Trading, a division of Fortis Merchant Banking, have entered into an approximately 1.1 million megawatt-hour, ten-year fixed-price hedge agreement that will provide revenue stability and accommodate wind seasonality.
