The wind facility, employs 342 units of GE Energy’s 1.5MW machines and 65 units of Siemens 2.3MW machines.

GE Energy Financial Services managing director, Kevin Walsh said the investment demonstrates the company’s ability to provide both the capital and equipment for critical energy infrastructure projects.

"We were uniquely suited to invest in this project alongside JP Morgan because of our Texas wind market expertise," Walsh added.

The Capricorn Ridge project is generating power to meet the electricity needs of 220,000 homes and avoids more than 952,000 metric tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually, according to US Environmental Protection Agency methodology.
