Texas Grants Lease for Gulf of Mexico Wind Project

Texas is now in a position to launch the first U.S. offshore wind project with its announcement of a lease agreement for a wind farm in the Gulf of Mexico. This is the second such lease granted by Texas for an offshore project and follows a similar announcement in October 2005.
The multi-million dollar agreement from the Texas Land Office’s “Texas wind rush” grants project developer Superior Renewable Energy (SRE) the rights to 39,900 acres of submerged lands in the Gulf of Mexico, just off the coast of Padre Island and south of Baffin Bay.
