The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission has approved Duke Energy 's 500 MW Sagamore Wind Project , part of a proposed 1.2 billion 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 .
