Representatives of Cielo Wind Power, Green Mountain Energy, Shell and TXU joined with commissioners court from the Borden and Scurry counties, plus others for the dedication.
The wind farm consists of 160 turbines, some 226 feet tall and weighing more than 170 tons each.
Enough electricity is generated from the wind farm to annually generate enough electricity for 30,000 homes.
The Snyder ISD will benefit from the wind farm in the form of tax dollars, while both Scurry and Borden counties as well as Western Texas College gave the project tax abatements.
However, all three are benefiting from yearly payments from the project, as Scurry County will receive its first $60,000 payment on Oct. 1. The county will receive another $60,000 annually through 2008, and payments will then increase to $100,000 per year through 2214. WTC will receive payments totaling $427,720 over a 10-year period.
At that time, the wind farm will go on the county tax rolls.
