Tri Global Energy (TGE), a Dallas-based renewable energy company, continues its development of wind energy projects in Texas. The company's utility-scale wind projects represent about a quarter of all wind power projects currently under construction in Texas.
"All signs point to 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 encourage Congress to continue to support clean energy growth by extending the renewable production tax credit to enable the construction of thousands of additional megawatts to serve consumers large and small with affordable, clean power."
Currently there are more than 100 wind projects under construction in 20 states representing more than 13,250MW of capacity. Texas leads the nation in wind project construction, followed by Oklahoma, Iowa, North Dakota and Kansas, according to AWEA's Market Report.
