Project Summary

The Melkkoe Wind Project is a proposed wind energy project to be located on privately owned land about 15 miles east of the city of Sulphur Springs in Hopkins County, TX. The project will produce energy using wind turbines. The generating capacity is expected to be 200 MW, the equivalent of powering approximately 40,000 Texas homes every year.

The power from the project will be delivered into the local electrical grid, helping to diversify the regional energy portfolio. The project will provide local economic benefits through construction-related jobs and property tax payments to the county. Landowners who participate in the project will receive substantial passive income from hosting turbines and other infrastructure while still having the ability to use their land to farm, hunt, and recreate.
