Project snapshot: co-located solar and wind power in the Gulf of Mexico
In Bee County, South Texas, the sun is beating down on 600,000 newly activated solar panels at the Helena Energy Center.
Taking advantage of the Gulf of Mexico’s strong coastal winds and abundant sunshine, this co-located wind and solar facility offers reliable energy to the Texas grid.
66 wind turbines
600,000 solar panels
518 MW total capacity
110,000 Texan homes and businesses powered annually.
