Big Sampson Wind is a proposed 265.4 MW wind generation project located in Crockett County, Texas. The developer is Big Sampson Wind Project, LLC. The project is interconnected to the ERCOT grid under queue ID ERCOT-16INR0104, with an interconnection queue entry date of May 11, 2015. The proposed commercial operation date is March 31, 2026, and the Interconnection Agreement (IA) was executed on November 8, 2019. The point of interconnection is tap 345kV 76015 Cedar Canyon - 7053 Noelke.
The proposed project is linked to the existing, operating Big Sampson Wind plant (EIA plant ID 68873). The project has been the subject of recent news coverage, with eight articles related to deals, industry, and development.
