The Prairie Hill Wind Project is a 300 MW wind farm located in Limestone County, Texas. The plant began operating in 2020 and is owned by ENGIE, a French multinational utility, with Engie North America as the listed operator. The facility utilizes a single generator consisting of onshore wind turbines manufactured by Nordex, specifically the AW140/3000 model. These turbines have a hub height of 82 meters and a rotor diameter of 140 meters.
In its most recent year of operation, the Prairie Hill Wind Project generated 77,779 MWh of electricity, resulting in a capacity factor of 3.0%. The plant operates within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) balancing authority, and the Texas Reliability Entity (TRE) NERC region. Prairie Hill ranks as the 34th largest wind farm in Texas out of 200, and 90th nationally out of 734.

No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
