The Roscoe Wind Complex
The
Roscoe Wind Complex is actually four projects in one. All four
phases (Roscoe, Champion, Pyron, and Inadale) are operational making the
complex the largest onshore wind farm in the world, with more
than 600 installed wind turbines capable of generating 781.5 MW.
Champion Wind Farm
 In
March 2008, E.ON began commercial operation of the 55 Siemens 2.3
megawatt turbines which make up the 126.5 MW of installed capacity at
the Champion Wind Farm. Each turbine stands 415 feet tall from the
ground to the top of the blades. Since turbines do not use water, the
farmers in Nolan County, where this project is located, welcomed the
arrival of this complimentary land use into their fields.
 Champion:
- Operational Date: March 2008
- Turbines: Siemens Mark II 2.3 MW Turbines
- Nameplate Capacity: 126.5 MW
