The wind center consists of 136 wind turbines, each standing 210 feet high. The facility can produce up to 200 megawatts of power, which is enough electricity to power 94,000 average New Mexico homes. Electricity production does not require water, produce emissions, or generate solid waste.[1]

FPL Energy owns and manages the facility, while PNM purchases all of its output.[1]
