Vestas V47-660kW wind turbine at American Wind Power Center in Lubbock, Texas A wind turbine blade on I-35 near Elm Mott, an increasingly common sight in Texas. Wind power has a long history in Texas. West Texas A&M University began wind energy research in 1970 and led to the formation of the Alternative Energy Institute (AEI) in 1977. AEI has ...
The Scaled Wind Farm Technology (SWiFT) Facility is a collaborative research facility, located at the Reese Technology Center in Lubbock, Texas. [1] It is the first facility to offer multiple wind turbines to measure turbine performance in a wind farm environment for as a user facility for the Wind Energy Technologies Office of the United States Department of Energy.

A small-scale wind tower in rural Indiana, United States. In 2008, small wind turbines with capacities of 100 kW or less added a total of 17.3 MW of generating capacity in the US, according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). This growth represented a 78% increase in the domestic market for small wind turbines.
A new wind energy technology is being developed that converts energy from wind energy vibrations to electricity. This energy, called Vibro-Wind technology, can use winds of less strength than normal wind turbines, and can be placed in almost any location. A prototype consisted of a panel mounted with oscillators made out of pieces of foam.
The Brazos Wind Farm, also known as the Green Mountain Energy Wind Farm at Brazos, is located in Borden and Scurry counties in Texas. It has 160 wind turbines, each rated at one megawatt (MW) and supplied by Mitsubishi, and was completed in December 2003. [1] The wind farm sells generated power on a long-term basis to a local power distributor ...
Small-scale wind power is the name given to wind generation systems with the capacity to produce up to 50 kW of electrical power. [104] Isolated communities, that may otherwise rely on diesel generators, may use wind turbines as an alternative.
Flower Turbines Now Available To Everyone to Invest in Small-Scale Wind Energy Through Equity Crowdfunding LUBBOCK, Texas, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flower Turbines, the innovative renewable energy company behind small-scale, visually striking wind turbines, is redefining the landscape of clean energy investment with its current equity ...
A similar strategy was attempted in Texas, where Pickens is building a wind farm that will bring electricity to Dallas, Texas. The proposed pipeline would have followed the same 250-mile (400 km) corridor as the electric transmission lines from the wind farms, which was to be seized for utility use from private owners through eminent domain.
