Roscoe Wind Farm, Wind farm in Roscoe, Texas.
The Roscoe Wind Farm contains 627 turbines spread across 400 square kilometers of Texas plains, generating 781.5 megawatts of electrical power.
Local cotton farmer Cliff Etheredge initiated the project in 2004, securing a billion-dollar investment from Airtricity before E.ON acquired the development in 2007.
The wind farm transformed local farmers' perception of wind from a crop-damaging nuisance into a valuable resource generating additional income for their properties.
Each turbine installation on private land generates between 5,000 and 15,000 dollars annually for property owners through royalty payments.
The facility provides enough electricity to power 250,000 Texas households while distributing income among 400 individual landowners across four counties.
