Project Description
Cimarron Bend will have a total installed capacity of 400 MW and will be Enel’s largest wind farm worldwide.

Cimarron Bend is the first of Enel’s North American wind farms to sell a portion of the power produced to a corporate offtaker.
Value
The construction of Cimarron Bend will require an investment of about $610-million.
