(Bloomberg) -- Duke Energy Corp. is installing some of America’s tallest wind turbines in southern Texas.
The company is using 590-foot (180-meter) windmills from Vestas Wind Systems A/S to build a project southeast of Laredo, according to a statement Thursday. That’s three stories taller than the Washington Monument.
Each turbine has a capacity of 3.6-megawatts, and the 200-megawatt project will produce enough electricity to power about 60,000 homes.
