The Peetz Table Wind Complex is a 430.2 megawatt (MW) wind facility in Logan County west of the town of Peetz in northeastern Colorado. The first 29.7 MW phase of construction called Peetz Table Wind, also known as Ridge Crest Wind, became the largest wind farm in the state upon its completion in 2001.{{cite web |title=Peetz Table Wind |url=http://www.edf-re.com/project/peetz-table-wind/ |accessdate=2019-03-02 |publisher=EDF Renewables }} A second 400.5 MW construction phase, including the 201 MW Logan Wind Energy Center and the 199.5 MW Peetz Table Wind Energy Center, reclaimed the distinction upon its completion in 2007.{{cite web |title=Logan Wind Energy Center |url=http://www.nexteraenergyresources.com/pdf_redesign/logan.pdf |accessdate=2019-03-02 |publisher=NextEra Energy Resources }}{{cite web |title=Peetz Table Wind Energy Center |url=http://www.nexteraenergyresources.com/pdf_redesign/peetztable.pdf |accessdate=2019-03-02 |publisher=NextEra Energy Resources }}

==Facility details==

The Peetz Table is a plateau which provides access along its southern edge in Colorado to some of the best wind resources on the High Plains, according to data from the United States Department of Energy.{{Cite web |url=http://windexchange.energy.gov/maps-data/15 |title=Colorado 80-Meter Wind Resource Map |publisher=US DOE |accessdate=March 28, 2019}}

The first phase was developed by the European firm EDF Energy in 2001. It occupies farmland about two miles southwest of the small town of Peetz. It consists of 33 NEG Micon NM52/900 wind turbines that are each rated at 0.9 MW.{{Cite web |url=https://www.thewindpower.net/windfarm_en_2911_peetz-table.php |title=Peetz Table |publisher=thewindpower.net |accessdate=March 28, 2019}} At a total capacity of 29.7 MW, it was the largest wind farm in the state, surpassing the 25.3 MW Ponnequin Wind Farm which had been previously built up starting in the late 1990s.{{Cite web |url=https://www.xcelenergy.com/energy_portfolio/electricity/power_plants/ponnequin |title=Ponnequin Wind Farm |publisher=Xcel Energy |accessdate=March 28, 2019}}

NextEra Energy Resources developed and constructed the second phase in 2007 as one of the largest wind projects in the United States.{{cite news |title=Work begins on wind farm project |url=http://www.bizjournals.com/denver/stories/2007/05/14/daily29.html |accessdate=2013-08-09 |newspaper=Denver Business Journal |date=2007-05-16 }} The twin 200 MW units occupy the remainder of the plateau to the west of Peetz and south of the Nebraska border. It consists of 267 GE Energy 1.5SLE turbines rated at 1.5 MW.{{Cite web |url=https://www.thewindpower.net/windfarm_en_2903_peetz-table-(3q).php |title=Peetz Table (3Q) |publisher=thewindpower.net |accessdate=March 28, 2019}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.thewindpower.net/windfarm_en_2902_peetz-table-(4q).php |title=Peetz Table (4Q) |publisher=thewindpower.net |accessdate=March 28, 2019}}

In 2007, it was projected that the facility would have approximately 20 full-time employees when completed.
