Gulf Wind is Pattern Energy's 271 MW wind facility on the Kenedy Ranch in Kenedy County, Texas. The original project began operating in 2009. EIA's May 2026 plant record still reports the pre-repower 283.2 MW rating, so the company and registry figures are shown separately.

Capacity factor is average output vs. this plant's observed peak.
Observed ERCOT settlement prices at TGW_T1_T2 over 363 days (2025-09-11 to 2026-09-10).
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.
