Superior to build 500Mw wind plant off Texas coast

June 23, 2006—The Texas General Land Office recently announced an agreement with Superior Renewable Energy to build a 500-megawatt wind facility on nearly 40,000 acres of land in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Padre Island National Seashore.

The multimillion dollar wind project, the second in Texas after a 150Mw facility being built in Galveston, will reportedly be the biggest offshore wind farm in the US. It will provide clean energy and help fund Texas public education.
