Nova Clean Energy executed interconnection agreements for 1 GW Texas wind portfolio including Laurel
sourceThe Laurel Wind Energy Center is a proposed wind generation project with a total capacity of 501.76 MW. It is located in Pecos County, Texas, and is being developed by Laurel Energy Center, LLC. The project is currently active in the ERCOT interconnection queue as entry ERCOT-27INR0056, with a queue entry date of June 28, 2023. The proposed commercial operation date is December 31, 2027, and the interconnection agreement status is currently in the Facility Study phase.
The proposed project consists solely of wind generation, with the entire 501.76 MW capacity attributed to wind turbines. The point of interconnection is the Solstice to Bakersfield (Bus# 60404 -76002) 345kV Ckt 2 line tap. The Laurel Wind Energy Center has been the subject of recent news coverage, appearing in seven news articles related to the energy industry and grid infrastructure.
