COOPERATIVE GRANT PROGRAM
Benefiting the Local community
economic growth
Pattern Energy’s Panhandle Wind facility generates enough clean energy to power 115,000 Texas homes annually and is projected to add approximately $200 million to the regional economy over 25 years. Grateful for its economic growth, Pattern Energy used its increase in financial resources to establish two grant programs in 2015 to benefit the local community from which the energy is generated.

Supporting local causes
“Pattern Energy wanted to ensure the wind facility was supporting local causes throughout Carson County.
Pattern Energy contributed an initial $1,500,000 to establish the Panhandle Wind Education Fund Endowment and the Panhandle Wind Civic Fund Endowment. The facility will contribute an additional $150,000 annually during the first ten years of operations, creating a new funding source for worthy local causes now and in perpetuity.”
