Hale Wind Project UpdateFebruary 2019
It’s only a matter of months before Xcel Energy’s Hale Wind Project is connected to the grid, bringing low-cost renewable energy to homes and businesses.
Crews have erected more than 69 of the 239 turbines. When complete in June, the wind farm will generate 478-megawatts of energy—enough to power approximately 184,000 homes. There are about 400 crew members currently working to finish the job; and when complete, 20 full-time personnel will operate the Hale Wind project.

Powering the economyThe Hale Wind Project will produce low-cost clean energy to power the economy in West Texas and eastern New Mexico. The company has announced a bold vision to deliver 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2050, with a diverse mix of wind, solar, and other clean resources. Carbon-free energy is good for the environment, the local economy, and your bill.
Three sections of towers are set on top of a concrete foundation, standing over 300 feet tall. The final turbine height reaches approximately 499 feet high (at the tip of blade).
A nacelle is set on top of the towers. The nacelle houses the generator and control systems that work together to convert wind power into electricity.
Each turbine has three 199-foot aerodynamic blades designed for maximum efficiency.
