- Operating status
- operating
Apex (project developer/operator) describes Cameron Wind as an operating project and ERCOT registration lists show CAMWIND_UNIT1 and battery/ESR registrations active in ERCOT registration files. FERC/EIA registry rows for the plant identify a commercial/operation-year (2015) in the FERC record. These authoritative sources jointly support 'operating' as the plant’s current status.
