BTU Buying More Wind Generated Electricity

September 8, 2014 by Archive

By the end of next year, ten percent of the electricity distributed by BTU will come from wind sources.

That’s the result of entering a 25 year agreement with the owner of a new wind farm being built along the Mexican border.

General Manager Gary Miller says it is a bonus that they’re using a renewable source to meet peak demand the next two to three years.

Miller says when the wind isn’t blowing, BTU has people working 24-7 making up for that loss.

BTU will buy enough power from the Starr County wind farm equal to 9,000 homes, which is similar to a contract with a provider near Corpus Christi.
