Introduction

The purpose of this blog is to offer our members a way to stay up to date on what Caprock is working on and also to provide the latest news from the wind energy industry.

In case you are unfamiliar with Caprock Plains Wind Energy Association (CPWEA), here is a little background:

We are a non-profit membership-based association dedicated to promoting wind energy in our area (the Caprock Plains area of Texas). CPWEA represents landowners in the area who are interested in wind energy development. Our focus is to recruit wind energy developers into the area who have our landowner's best interest at heart. On top of that another focus of CPWEA is to secure transmission in our area.

CPWEA was officially formed in August 2007 in order to promote our area as a prime location for future wind energy development. Currently CPWEA has approximately 400 members most of whom are landowners in Hale and Floyd county Texas. CPWEA also has members who are residents of Motley, Crosby, Dickens, Castro, Swisher and Kent counties. Membership is also open to individuals, businesses, etc. who aren't landowners, but wish to support Caprock in its endeavors. If you aren't currently a member of Caprock but would like to be please visit our Web site at www.caprockplainswind.com to learn more about becoming a member.
