Xcel Energy’s 552MW New Mexico wind farm is expected to be operational by 2021. The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission has approved Xcel Energy's 552 MW Sagamore Wind Project, part of a proposed 1.2 GW wind project straddling the Texas-New Mexico border that Xcel plans to build at a cost of $1.6bn. The Public Utility Commission of Texas is expected to make a decision on the linked 478 MW Hale Wind Project in April. In its approval letter dated July 28, the commission said it was "satisfied with the proposal" and noted that the two projects were located within 100 miles of each other.
