Mesa Power

From WikiCover

Mesa Power was created in 2007 by T. Boone Pickens

On August 16, 2007, Mesa Power said it has filed documents with a state agency to add four thousand megawatts of wind-generated electricity to the power grid in Texas. The filing with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) details plans for the project, which, when completed as projected in late 2011, would be the world's largest wind farm. Mesa Power, formed earlier this year, said the project could have as many as 2,700 turbines on up to 200,000 acres in Roberts and adjacent counties in the Texas Panhandle. The project is well underway, with feasibility studies and wind tower data collection continuing.

In partnership with other Texas Panhandle landowners, Pickens is also pursuing the sale of 200,000 acre feet of groundwater from the area to meet the increasing demands in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The wind leases are in the same area as the groundwater leases and will include many of the same landowners. Electric transmission lines could follow the same right of way that will be utilized for a groundwater pipeline.
