Mesquite Creek Wind
Duke EnergyDawson County
Mesquite Creek Wind is a 211.2 MW onshore wind facility spanning Dawson and Borden counties in West Texas. EIA's May 2026 inventory lists one operating generator under Plant ID 59332, with Duke Energy Renewables Services as the registered operator and April 2015 as the service month. Duke's 2015 announcement describes 118 GE 1.7 MW turbines, a 50% Duke interest alongside Sumitomo, and a 20-year agreement under which Mars purchases the plant's power and renewable-energy credits.

EIA-860 lists generator MSCRK with this operating date.
ERCOT SCED disclosure is delayed, so plant performance windows end at the latest disclosed interval.
Monthly generation is reported through EIA-923. Capacity factor uses the current EIA nameplate capacity and is shown only for complete calendar years.

Capacity factor is average output vs. this plant's observed peak.
Observed ERCOT settlement prices at MESQCRK_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.
Matched to the latest available ERCOT generation-interconnection queue record. Queue status and completion dates describe the queue record; operating status is verified separately against plant and market registrations.
