Wind in Texas

Four Horizons

in development

The Four Horizons project is a 945 MW wind facility under construction in Baylor County, Texas. AES is dedicated to delivering energy projects with positive long-term impact, through creating jobs, building community partnerships, and generating tax revenue for local governments and schools.

Texas has long been a leader in energy generation and innovation, and AES is proud to play a vital role in supporting the state’s efforts to deliver abundant, reliable, and affordable energy.
