Wind power projects inNew Mexico

Operating

Under construction

As of 2023,wind power was the top source of energy inNew Mexico, with approximately 4,400 megawatts (MW) of electricitygenerating capacity responsible for 38% of electricity produced that year.^[1]Wind power in New Mexico has the potential to generate more than all of the electricity consumed in the state.

Wind resources

[edit]

The 250MW capacity Roosevelt wind farm started operation in December 2015. The plant sells electricity to Southwestern Public Service.^[2]

Construction of the 298 MW El Cabo Wind Farm west of Encino was completed at the end of 2017.^[3] The Red Cloud 331 MW wind farm in south east New Mexico has over 40%capacity factor, and sends power toLADWP at $0.043/kWh for 20 years.^[4]

The SunZia Wind project will begin construction in 2023 and will be the largest wind farm in North America upon completion with 3,500 MW of capacity. A 3,000 MWHVDC transmission line will supply electricity to Arizona.^[5]

Average annual wind power density map for New Mexico at 50m above ground

A 2010 study by theNational Renewable Energy Laboratory showed that New Mexico has the potential to install up to 492,083 MW of wind powernameplate capacity, generating 1,644,970GWh annually.^[10]^[11] For comparison, New Mexico consumed 23,060 GWh of electricity in 2016, and 20,639 GWh in 2005.^[12]^[13]
