WOLF RIDGE WIND, a 113 MW Wind power plant in Cooke County, Texas. Operated by NEXTERA WOLF RIDGE LLC, commissioned 2008.
How WOLF RIDGE WIND compares
With 113 MW of capacity, WOLF RIDGE WIND ranks 176th among the 307 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Texas and 53rd of the 94 operating Wind plants in the state. It accounts for about 1.0% of Texas's operating Wind capacity and 0.1% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 200th-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.
EIA-860 lists 1 generator at the site with 113 MW of nameplate capacity, all onshore wind turbine technology. Net generation was 375 GWh in 2024 (a 38% capacity factor), down 8% from 2022.

Weather peril exposure
WOLF RIDGE WIND is a 113 MW wind power plant in Cooke County, TX, operated by NEXTERA WOLF RIDGE LLC, commissioned in 2008. Cooke County carries critical modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 4.4 of 5 at the 85th national percentile. Hail is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 87th 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.
Cooke County hazard ratings
| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hail | Relatively Moderate | 87th | 4.5 of 5 | 9.4 |
| Ice storm | Relatively High | 85th | 4.4 of 5 | 1.1 |
| Wildfire | Relatively Moderate | 80th | 4.2 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Tornado | Relatively High | 76th | 4.1 of 5 | 0.81 |
| Strong wind | Relatively Moderate | 74th | 4.0 of 5 | 4.0 |
| Heat wave | Relatively Low | 62nd | 3.5 of 5 | 15.5 |
| Lightning | Relatively Low | 54th | 3.1 of 5 | 53.3 |
| Winter weather | Relatively Low | 50th | 3.0 of 5 | 5.1 |
| Earthquake | Very Low | 40th | 2.6 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Hurricane | Very Low | 38th | 2.5 of 5 | 0.01 |
| Riverine flooding | Relatively Low | 17th | 1.7 of 5 | 1.6 |
Perils not assessed in Cooke County
These perils carry no usable National Risk Index figure for this county, so they are excluded from the scoring rather than scored zero. A zero would claim the peril was assessed and found benign.
