White Mesa Wind
NextEra Energy ResourcesCrockett County
White Mesa Wind is a 500.6 MW wind facility in Crockett County, Texas. EIA's May 2026 inventory reports one aggregated operating generator record dated October 2021. Apex developed the project and announced its sale to an unnamed buyer in August 2020. NextEra's September 2025 generation portfolio lists White Mesa at 500.6 MW with a 50% ownership interest. A contractor page conflicts internally on whether the project has 180 or 163 turbines, so no turbine count is published here.

Capacity factor is average output vs. this plant's observed peak.
Observed ERCOT settlement prices at WHMESA_U1 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.
Portfolio membership follows the latest EIA-860 reporting entity. It does not imply ultimate ownership.
EIA reports October 2021 for the operating generator record.
ERCOT SCED disclosure is delayed, so plant performance windows end at the latest disclosed interval.
