Electricity generated from the West Texas plains and Texas coastal wind farms makes CPS Energy the largest publicly owned purchaser of wind power in the country. We currently acquire more than 577 megawatts (MW) of wind-generated electricity -- 340 MW from the Cottonwood Creek and 160 MW from the Desert Sky wind farms in West Texas, and 77 MW from Peñascal, the first wind farm located near the Texas coast. The three wind farms combine to generate enough electricity for more than 132,000 homes.

More wind energy is on the way. Later in 2009, CPS Energy will receive another 115.5 MW, enough to power an additional 25,000 homes, from the new Papalote Creek Wind Farm currently under construction east of Corpus Christi, Texas.

Wind energy is made available to CPS Energy customers through Windtricity®, a voluntary renewable-energy purchase option.
