Massive Renewable Energy Project Comes to Pantex

Construction is expected to last until July 2014, when the blades of the project will start spinning in the strong Panhandle wind, delivering renewable energy to the Pantex Plant. The PREP groundbreaking will start at 10 a.m. August 13 at the Pantex Plant, located 17 miles northeast of Amarillo, Texas; north of U.S. Highway 60 on Farm-to-Market

7 Ways Pantex Helps the Environment | Pantex Plant

Since the summer of 2014, the Pantex Renewable Energy Project or "wind farm" has allowed the site to consistently exceed DOE goals for using renewable energy and reducing energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. The wind farm also provides both Pantex and Y-12 with renewable energy credits, which help exceed DOE sustainability goals.

Pantex to Become Wind Energy Research Center

The core of the agreement signed Thursday is the new Pantex Renewable Energy Project (PREP), a five-turbine, 11.5 megawatt wind farm that is being built on federal land east of the main Pantex Plant. The project is expected to be completed this summer and will provide about 60 percent of the plant''s annual electrical energy needs.

NNSA Administrator Jill Hruby Remarks at DOE

In 2013, we broke ground on an 11.5-megawatt wind farm, the Pantex Renewable Energy Project, or PREP in Amarillo, Texas. Five turbines began producing electricity in 2014 and were quickly able to generate more than 60 percent of the Pantex Plant''s annual electricity needs. This is the equivalent of taking over 7,000 cars off the road, or
