New Mexico’s newest wind power facility is now up and running. Pattern Energy Group 2 LP (“Pattern Development”) today announced it has completed construction and begun operations at its 220 megawatt (MW) Grady Wind facility located in Curry County, New Mexico. This is the third and final phase of a 544 MW suite of wind projects, which now represent the largest investment in clean power in the history of New Mexico. “The successful completion of Grady Wind represents an important step in New Mexico’s evolution as a major renewable energy producer,” said Mike Garland, CEO of Pattern Development. “As the leading wind developer and operator in New Mexico, we are proud to be helping position New Mexico as a wind energy leader. We also plan to ramp up construction in early 2020 on more than 800 MW of new wind facilities in central New Mexico, creating hundreds of new construction jobs and generating billions of dollars in economic impact. As wind and solar energy development grow throughout the state, New Mexicans will reap the economic benefits.”
