Wind turbines

Residents of FM 1162 east of El Campo can expect wind turbines to be installed soon. However, these turbines won’t be powering homes in the county but instead generating energy for social media “likes.” The Prairie Switch Wind Farm project, developed by Triple Oak Power, will consist of 48 turbines and generate 155 megawatts. The installations have just begun, and there will be increased activity in the coming months. The project is located on leased land south of Pierce, stretching along CR 421 and branching off onto properties on both sides of the road.
