West Texas ranchers sue ERCOT over wind farm connected to Chinese billionaire
with Brazos Highland last July to develop and operate the wind farm on the 15,000 Carma Ranch north of Comstock.The plaintiffs, Ward-Walker Seven Oaks Ranch and Cole Ranch, say ERCOT is jeopardizing the security and reliability of the grid and are asking the court to void the interconnection application previously filed by GH America.
An ERCOT spokesperson said the grid operator does not comment on pending litigation. A spokesperson for GH America could not be reached Friday., said the proposed influx in wind energy poses a threat to an area known for its wilderness. People travel there to hunt and be in nature, spending thousands of dollars a night to stay at some Val Verde County ranches.
Opponents say the project could also hurt unique wildlife habitats that monarch butterflies, migratory birds and bats call home. "Everybody is opposed to 700-foot tall turbines in the county no matter who owns ‘em,” Nunns said. “If it was Willie Nelson building ‘em we still wouldn’t want ‘em.”
