Repowering Langford, which began original operations in 2009, will increase the project’s operational life by over a decade. Turbine equipment was provided by GE Renewable Energy and construction for the repowering was led by Mortensen. Langford is interconnected into ERCOT and will generate enough electricity to power nearly 75 000 households each year.
The Langford repowering created more than 200 jobs during construction and will support several permanent onsite operational positions. Construction activities also drove more than US$700 000 of spending at local businesses and helped raise an additional US$48 000 in food drive contributions.
