About

The Vista Bluff Wind I "Alternate POI" project is a proposed 290.4 MW wind generation project located in Upton County, Texas. The developer is Vista Bluff Windpower, LLC. It is currently active in the ERCOT interconnection queue as entry ERCOT-28INR0446, with a queue entry date of September 22, 2025, and a proposed commercial operation date of December 31, 2029.

The project's point of interconnection (POI) is the tap 345 kV (76000) North McCamey - (59903) Bearkat, specifically the Benedum 345 kV station, which LCRA will build as part of 24RPG024.
