Onward Energy · Floyd County · ERCOT

South Plains II is a 300 MW wind facility in Floyd County, Texas. EIA's May 2026 inventory reports one operating generator dated June 2016 and lists Onward Energy as operator. Onward's 2022 sustainability report lists the plant as a 300 MW, 100%-owned Vestas facility with a 2016 commercial-operation year. ERCOT maps the plant to the SPLAIN2_RN settlement point.
