Commission hears 800-MW Heelstone wind proposal affecting ~100,000 acres in Roosevelt County
Summary
Heelstone Renewable Energy described an 800-MW wind project in study with projected 2029–2030 completion, hundreds of construction jobs, and roughly 100,000 acres proposed in Roosevelt County; the commission received the presentation as information.
Aaqib Syed presented details of an 800-megawatt wind project proposed by Heelstone Renewable Energy. He said the project has been in the queue for about two years, that studies and surveys are underway, and that commercial completion is expected in 2029–2030.
Syed told commissioners the site would generate hundreds of construction jobs but far fewer long-term operations positions. He said roughly 100,000 acres of the project would be in Roosevelt County, with the rest in Lea County, and that Heelstone would own the project.
Commissioners asked about job numbers and ownership. No county approvals or incentives were requested during the presentation; the item was presented for information and the commission took no formal action at the meeting.
