This is the equivalent of powering about 43,000 U.S. households and offset the emission of 503,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<h2>Long-term benefits<\/h2>\n<p>The wind project will require approximately 170 people at the peak of construction and, upon completion, will be staffed by a 10-person operations team. Over its 25-year lifespan, Palmas Altas is expected to generate $40 million in local tax revenue, as well as more than $44 million in lease payments to local landowners. The energy it will produce will be sold in the ERCOT-South Texas wholesale market.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe are proud to undertake a new wind power project that consolidates the reactivation of our investment activity in the U.S. and confirms our commitment to grow in a controlled and profitable manner in a market that continues to offer very interesting opportunities for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/acciona-to-double-its-renewable-capacity-in-latin-america-by-2020\/\">renewables sector,<\/a>\u201d<\/em> Rafael Esteban, CEO of ACCIONA Energy USA Global LLC, said in prepared remarks.<\/p>\n<p>This new Texas wind project is estimated to cost about $200 million and grid connection is planned for November 2019. With the addition of Palmas Altas, the company\u2019s U.S. wind capacity increases to 866 megawatts: ACCIONA has three wind projects in Oklahoma (329 MW), two in the Dakotas (192 MW), one in Illinois (101 MW) and one in Iowa (6 MW).
