Xcel Energy has broken ground on its 522-megawatt Sagamore Wind Project near Dora in Roosevelt County, N.M.
When operational in the latter part of 2020, the $900 million wind energy facility will boost the area’s power supply with clean, affordable wind energy and reduce fuel costs for Xcel Energy customers in both New Mexico and Texas.
The 522-megawatt Sagamore Wind Project will be the largest single wind facility in New Mexico by the time it’s completed late next year. It is expected to be able to meet the annual electricity needs of nearly 194,000 homes, according to Xcel.
