Utility scale wind power generation in Texas is a fairly young industry, with some of the first wind farms in Texas constructed less than twenty years ago. We continue to see varied opinions, valuations and appraisals on land with income producing wind turbines. Some factors that affect land values include the location of the land, quality of the soil, drainage, as well as property size. We carefully evaluate the wind income stream from each property using proprietary financial models that account for grid congestion,  length of the offtake agreement, turbine reliability and contract terms.
