The Elbow Creek Wind Project was a 122 megawatt (MW) wind farm beginning in 2008 in Howard County near Big Spring, Texas. The project used 53 Siemens 2.3 MW wind turbine generators, which provide enough electricity for nearly 100,000 households.[http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/industries/energy/article/nrg-energy-begins-construction-second-west-texas-wind-farm_535935_11.html NRG Energy Begins Construction on Second West Texas Wind Farm]{{Dead link|date=August 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}[https://web.archive.org/web/20090101035635/http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS94580+29-Dec-2008+BW20081229 NRG`s Second Wind Farm, Elbow Creek, Achieves Commercial Operation] It was repowered in 2019.{{cite web |title=Clearway completes its first wind repowering project in Texas |url=https://www.windtech-international.com/projects-and-contracts/clearway-completes-its-first-wind-repowering-project-in-texas |website=www.windtech-international.com |date=5 December 2019}}
