White Mesa Wind, LLC · Crockett County · ERCOT

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 scope:** EIA and NextEra both report 500.6 MW; EIA represents the plant as one aggregated generator record.
