E.ON

German utility company E.ON has launched a new onshore wind park in the United States (Texas) with an installed capacity of 200 megawatts. The 112 turbines at Colbeck’s Corner can produce electricity for 64,000 households, the company said in a press release. The budget for the new wind park was 40 percent below investments needed to build the company’s Pyron wind farm in 2009, E.ON said.
