Amadeus is located northwest of Abilene in Rotan and has begun selling power into the grid.
It is the largest onshore wind project completed to date in BayWa RE s global portfolio.
The wind farm consists of 96 GE turbines deployed across nearly 10,000 hectares of federal, state and privately held lands.
Over the lifetime of the plant, it will provide millions of dollars in tax benefits to the local community.
BayWa RE chief executive Florian Zerhusen said: “We are grateful to all the stakeholders that worked hard to make this project a success, despite this year s profound global challenges.”
Commerzbank financed the construction loan for the project, while Morgan Stanley is purchasing the energy from the project under the terms of a 10-year hedge agreement.
