TRINITY HILLS, a 225 MW Wind power plant in Young County, Texas. Operated by AE POWER SERVICES LLC, commissioned 2011.
How TRINITY HILLS compares
With 225 MW of capacity, TRINITY HILLS ranks 115th among the 307 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Texas and 8th of the 94 operating Wind plants in the state. It accounts for about 1.9% of Texas's operating Wind capacity and 0.2% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 34th-largest of the 708 operating Wind plants in the database. Commissioned in 2011, it is newer than 85% 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. It shares Young County with one other operating plant, GRAHAM.
EIA-860 lists 1 generator at the site with 198 MW of nameplate capacity, all onshore wind turbine technology (this page's HIFLD capacity figure is 225 MW). Net generation was 753 GWh in 2024 (a 43% capacity factor), down 8% 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. Another 2 operating power plants totaling 785 MW sit within 25 miles; the largest is GRAHAM (635 MW, Natural Gas).

Weather peril exposure
TRINITY HILLS is a 225 MW wind power plant in Young County, TX, operated by AE POWER SERVICES LLC, commissioned in 2011. Young County carries high modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 4.1 of 5 at the 78th national percentile. Strong wind is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 89th 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.
