EDF, which will own and operate Bobcat, will sell the power into the merchant market, says spokeswoman Sandi Briner. The wind farm is located 20 miles (32.1km) south of the city of Wichita Falls and utilizes General Electric turbines.
The PTC, the main federal wind incentive, pays $22/MWh, inflation-adjusted, for a project’s first decade in operation.
EDF on 11 December placed its 161MW Spinning Spur wind project into commercial operation 30 miles west of Amarillo.
