OwnEnergy, a development platform for community wind in the United States, and Horn Wind have completed the Windthorst 1 wind farm near Windthorst, Texas. The wind farm has 51 MW of installed capacity, and is a joint-venture project between the two companies. A majority stake in the wind farm has been sold to a global renewable energy company.

The wind farm was developed in the spirit of community wind which includes characteristics like local ownership, increased local jobs, greater involvement, control and financial upside for members of the local community. OwnEnergy co-owns wind projects and operates them in collaboration with local partners. OwnEnergy and Horn Wind will continue to have long-term interest in the wind farm.
