Tri Global Energy announced the upcoming installation of 20MW of wind turbines in Crosby County. The installation will be overseen by Ralls Corporation, an American company owned by Chinese investors. Ralls acquired the development rights for the Pleasant Hill Wind Energy project from the Crosby County Wind Farm. This will be the second wind energy project in Crosby County that will be constructed and operated by the Ralls Corporation with SANY wind turbines.
Construction of the USD 37M project is expected to begin this October, with commercial operations scheduled to commence in March 2014. Pleasant Hill, comprised of 2,072 acres, represents the first phase of the potential 300MW Crosby County Wind Farm located approximately seventeen miles northeast of Lubbock, Texas.
Tri Global Energy’s Founder and CEO John B. Billingsley, Jr. states, “I am pleased to see the first 11 wind turbines of many, going up on projects initiated by the company we started in 2009.
This is a visible sign of the power behind our community-based business model. Within the first 15 years, this Pleasant Hill project is expected to benefit the local economy by providing a total of USD 6.0M in landowner and community royalties including tax revenues to the local county and school district.”
