Originated by Tri Global Energy through its proprietary community sponsorship business model, the Wind Force Plan, the Canyon Wind project occupies over 38,000 acres of flat farm and ranch land with nearly 150 participating landowners. Tri Global will maintain its role as lead developer through project financing and construction.

We are excited about reaching this new milestone for our Canyon Wind energy project," said John Billingsley, Chairman and CEO of Tri Global Energy. "We look forward to an active partnership with Silverpeak. Texas continues to be a great place to do business for the development of the growing clean energy pipeline."
"It is a pleasure to partner with Tri Global, an experienced renewable energy developer that has already brought value to the project," said Santosh Raikar, Silverpeak Managing Partner and Head of Silverpeak's Renewables group. "We are particularly excited about this development being situated on the 'right' – or eastern – side of ERCOT West, which is devoid of transmission congestion that could affect the pricing and return for producing reliable, economical, and eco-friendly electric power."
