The Largest Wind Farm in the United States

​Based in New York City, Charles Hinckley serves as managing partner and CEO of CC Hinckley, Co., LLC, a power plant finance and development business located in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. As a power plant industry professional, Charles "Chuck" Hinckley has worked on several solar and wind power projects.

A wind farm is a large, open area that has been outfitted with several wind turbines and structures that resemble very tall, somewhat futuristic windmills. These turbines have been developed to harness the power of the wind and convert it into usable energy. As one might imagine, wind farms are typically set up in locations that receive consistent and strong winds.

Wind farm acreage can be used for several additional purposes, including traditional farming. This is fortunate, as large wind farms can occupy hundreds of miles. The Roscoe wind farm (RWF) project represents the largest onshore wind farm in the United States and the world. Located south of Abilene, Texas, the farm occupies 100,000 square acres and features nearly 630 turbines of various makes and models.

RWF and other wind farms have combined to provide the United States with approximately 3 percent of its electricity.
