Amazon Wind Farm Texas / Dermott Wind — 253 MW onshore wind, Scurry County, Texas (ERCOT). Original PPA signed Sept 2015 with Lincoln Clean Energy; LCE acquired by Ørsted Aug 2018. Project COD October 19, 2017.
Amazon's largest wind farm at the time. Lincoln Clean Energy (later acquired by Ørsted) developed. [Fact-check 2026-05-08: MAJOR — Developer at signing was Lincoln Clean Energy (Ørsted acquired LCE 2018, took over project mid-life). Project sub-name should be "Dermott Wind" (Wikipedia) not "Cottonwood/Scurry". Original PPA signing year ~2015 not 2017-08; 2017-08 reflects approximate operational date / christening Oct 19 2017. Flagged for re-dating; kept entry as-is pending source for original 2015 signing.] [Flag #2 fix 2026-05-08: Date corrected from 2017-08 (operational year) to 2015-09-15 (original PPA signing per AWS press release timeline). Developer corrected from "Ørsted" to "Lincoln Clean Energy" (Ørsted acquired LCE Aug 2018, well after PPA signing). Project sub-name corrected to "Dermott Wind" per EIA Form 860 / Wikipedia (was incorrectly "Cottonwood/Scurry").]
