Scout started the construction on Ranchero in January 2019. The completion follows the recently announced commencement of construction on Scout’s 180 MW Heart of Texas wind farm in McCullough County, Texas. The utility-scale wind power project will utilise 120 of the latest generation GE 2.5 MW wind turbines with 127 m rotors.
RES (Renewable Energy Systems) constructed the project under a balance of plant contract, with the Scout team managing and supervising the overall construction process. During peak construction, there were as many as 200 workers who in total logged over 439 000 hours. As the owner-operator, Scout’s asset management team handled day-to-day commercial operations.
