Tri Global Energy (TGE), a Dallas-based utility-scale renewable energy company, has been named as the leader of the wind power development in Texas, according to the second quarter 2015 Market Report from the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA).
With over 2,400 MW of wind generation projects currently under construction in the state, TGE's wind projects represent about a third of all wind power projects currently being developed in Texas and nearly 18% of all wind projects nationally.
"All signs point to the continued strong growth in demand for renewable energy, and we are aggressively working to expand our participation in the market for wind energy," said John Billingsley, Chairman and CEO of Tri Global Energy. "We're also encouraged by the initial moves in Congress to extend the production tax credit and investment tax credit, which help put renewable energy projects on a more equal footing with fossil fuels.”
Currently there are more than 100 wind projects under construction in 24 states representing more than 13,600 MW of capacity. Texas leads the nation in wind project construction, followed by Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa and North Dakota, according to AWEA's Market Report.
