High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Mesa Power, a company controlled by former Texas oilman, T. Boone Pickens, planned to build the world`s largest wind farm, called the Pampa Wind Project, as part of the Pickens Plan. The proposed 4,000 MW facility was to be located near Pampa, Texas, which is on the Texas Panhandle, and stretch to the east, spanning 400,000-acre (1,600 km2) in five counties. This would provide enough power for 1.5 million average homes. Mesa Power placed an order for 667 wind turbines from General Electric — the world`s largest wind turbine order for a single location. The first phase of the project, 1000 MW, was planned to go online before 2011 before the project was halted. Lease payments for the land used by the turbines were expected to cost $65 million a year. The total cost of the project was estimated at $8–10 billion.
