Corona Wind Projects
The Corona Wind Project is a 2.2 Gigawatt wind farm being developed by Pattern Energy in New Mexico near Corona, New Mexico in Lincoln County, New Mexico.[1] It received unanimous approval October 5, 2018 by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (PRC). However the PRC rejected the application of SunZia to build a 500 mile long transmission line which was projected to carry the power to California.[2][3]
If built, the project would include 950 wind turbines. [4]
Pattern Energy previously purchased the rights to the Mesa Canyons Wind Farm from Clean Line Energy Partners in May 2018. The Mesa Canyons Wind Farm is a 1 GW wind farm just north of Corona. This combined with the Corona Wind Project gives the 3GW of energy that is projected to be exported to the west via the SunZia power line. [3][5] [6]
Pattern Energy have already sold 200 MW of the 2.2 GW capacity via 15 year Power Purchase Agreements to Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) and Monterey Bay Community Power (MBCP). [7]
