Cranell Wind Farm
RWERefugio CountyERCOT
Cranell Wind Farm is a 220 MW onshore wind facility in Refugio County, Texas. EIA's May 2026 inventory lists one 220 MW generator under Plant ID 62416, operated by RWE Clean Energy and assigned a January 2022 service month. RWE announced commercial operation in October 2020 and identifies 100 Vestas 2.2 MW turbines and an approximately $250 million investment. Those dates are presented separately because the current EIA generator record and RWE's project announcement describe different operating milestones.

Capacity factor is average output vs. this plant's observed peak.
Observed ERCOT settlement prices at CRANELL_ALL over 365 days (2025-10-27 to 2026-10-26).
The TB2 figure is a price benchmark, not revenue: it values one perfect-foresight cycle per day between the 2 cheapest and 2 dearest hours of each day, gross of round-trip losses, and excludes ancillary services and any physical dispatch constraint. It describes what this node’s price shape was worth over the window — it is not this asset’s realized capture, and no dispatch is assumed or modelled.
