Capricorn Ridge is a 662.5 MW wind complex in Coke and Sterling counties, Texas. EIA's May 2026 inventory groups four operating generator records under Plant ID 56763, with service dates from November 2007 through May 2008. GE reported in 2012 that the full complex used 342 GE 1.5 MW turbines and 65 Siemens 2.3 MW turbines. A current NextEra fact sheet describes a narrower 364 MW scope with 143 GE and 65 Siemens turbines, so the page keeps those source scopes distinct rather than treating them as conflicting plant totals.

## Profile

- **Grid role:** Utility-scale wind generation in ERCOT's West region.
- **EIA configuration:** Four operating generator records total 662.5 MW: 214.5 MW, 149.5 MW, 186 MW, and 112.5 MW.
- **Equipment record:** GE's 2012 transaction release describes 342 GE 1.5 MW turbines and 65 Siemens 2.3 MW turbines across the 662.5 MW complex.
- **Source scope:** NextEra's current fact sheet covers a 364 MW scope with 143 GE and 65 Siemens turbines; it does not describe all four EIA generator records.
