Texas Wind Energy

The Wind Energy Capital of America

Texas produces more wind energy than any other state—and more than most countries. With vast open spaces, consistent wind resources, and transmission infrastructure, Texas continues to lead the nation in wind farm development.

Our team has prepared sites for wind projects across Texas, from the Panhandle to South Texas. We understand the unique requirements of wind farm construction and deliver sites ready for turbine installation.

FAQs

Wind Energy Site Prep Questions

Wind energy site clearing involves preparing land for wind turbine installations. This includes clearing vegetation at turbine pad locations, constructing access roads capable of handling heavy equipment, creating crane staging areas, and clearing routes for underground electrical collection systems.

Wind farm site preparation costs vary based on terrain, vegetation, and project scope. Turbine pad sites typically cost $5,000-$15,000 each for clearing and grading. Access roads range from $50,000-$150,000 per mile. We provide detailed quotes based on project specifications.

We serve wind energy projects throughout Texas, with extensive experience in the Permian Basin, Panhandle, South Texas, and Gulf Coast regions. Our crews are mobile and can deploy to any Texas location for wind farm site preparation.

Wind farm access roads must support loads up to 500,000+ pounds for turbine component delivery and crane mobilization. Roads typically require 20-40 foot widths with appropriate turning radii for long blade trailers. We build roads to exact specifications for your turbine and crane requirements.

Timeline depends on project size. A typical 100-turbine wind farm requires 3-6 months for complete site preparation. We can mobilize multiple crews to meet aggressive timelines and coordinate with other contractors working on the project.

Yes, we prepare crane staging areas and crane paths. This includes clearing, grading, and compacting areas to support the massive cranes used for turbine erection. We ensure pads meet the load-bearing requirements specified by crane operators.

Absolutely. We clear and prepare routes for underground electrical collection systems, including trenching corridors and substation sites. We coordinate with electrical contractors to ensure proper routing and minimal restoration requirements.

Wind projects often have specific environmental requirements including eagle nest setbacks, wetland avoidance, and seasonal clearing restrictions. We work within all project environmental permits and implement required mitigation measures.
