SILVER STAR I WIND POWER PROJECT, a 60 MW Wind power plant in Erath County, Texas. Operated by AE POWER SERVICES LLC, commissioned 2008.
How SILVER STAR I WIND POWER PROJECT compares
With 60 MW of capacity, SILVER STAR I WIND POWER PROJECT ranks 209th among the 307 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Texas and 70th of the 94 operating Wind plants in the state. It accounts for about 0.5% of Texas's operating Wind capacity and under 0.1% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 352nd-largest of the 708 operating Wind plants in the database. Commissioned in 2008, it is newer than 68% of the 303 operating Texas plants with a recorded commissioning year. Its operator, AE POWER SERVICES LLC, runs 3 operating plants in Texas totaling 435 MW.
EIA-860 lists 1 generator at the site with 53 MW of nameplate capacity, all onshore wind turbine technology (this page's HIFLD capacity figure is 60 MW). Net generation was 201 GWh in 2024 (a 43% capacity factor), up 5% from 2022.
Grid neighborhood
The closest transmission line found within 10 miles is a 138 kV line owned by ONCOR ELECTRIC DELIVERY CO., about 1.0 miles away. One other operating power plant sits within 25 miles: R W MILLER (604 MW, Natural Gas).

Weather peril exposure
SILVER STAR I WIND POWER PROJECT is a 60 MW wind power plant in Erath County, TX, operated by AE POWER SERVICES LLC, commissioned in 2008. Erath County carries moderate modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 2.5 of 5 at the 36th national percentile. Wildfire is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 84th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a wind plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
Erath County hazard ratings
| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wildfire | Relatively Moderate | 84th | 4.4 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Tornado | Relatively Moderate | 67th | 3.7 of 5 | 0.79 |
| Hail | Relatively Low | 48th | 2.9 of 5 | 6.6 |
