The Sherbino Wind Farm is a 150MW project sited in Pecos County in Texas and the first phase has been brought on-line to full commercial operation. Heading the project is BP Wind Energy in partnership with Padoma Wind Power, a subsidiary of NRG Energy.

This project is the first of what could become a maximum capacity facility of 750MW. This first phase began construction in February and comprises 50 Vestas V-90 wind turbines each with a rated capacity of 3MW.

The electricity generated from the Sherbino Wind Farm will be delivered into the Reliability Council of Texas transmission system and sold on the wholesale power market.

According to Robert Lukefahr, the president of BP Wind Energy North America, “The successful commercial operation of phase I of the Sherbino wind farm with our partner NRG Energy is another example of BP’s commitment to grow its wind portfolio in the U.S…The Sherbino wind farm will produce clean, renewable electricity for the next twenty years.”
