Mariah del Norte is a 230.4 MW wind facility in Parmer County, Texas. EIA's May 2026 inventory lists one operating aggregate generator under Plant ID 59005, with service beginning in November 2016 and BHE Renewables as the registered operator. BHE's current project page reports 230 MW, 96 turbines and 25,024 acres. BHE's page labels 2022 as its 'year operational,' which conflicts with the 2016 EIA service record and is not used as the commissioning date here.

Capacity factor is average output vs. this plant's observed peak.
Observed ERCOT settlement prices at MARIAH_ALL over 365 days (2025-10-26 to 2026-10-25).
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.
