Aviator Wind is majority owned and operated by NorthStar Clean Energy, a subsidiary of CMS Energy.

Spanning the open plains of West Texas, Aviator Wind stands among the largest single phase, single site wind projects ever constructed in the United States. Located approximately 250 miles southwest of Dallas, the project features 191 GE wind turbines and includes Kansai Electric Power as a minority partner.

Under the agreement, CAMS will provide an end to end operating platform for the project, including:

This integrated approach is designed to enhance reliability, regulatory compliance, and long term performance for one of ERCOT’s most significant renewable energy assets.

“Aviator Wind represents the scale, complexity, and operational rigor that CAMS was built to support,” said Brian Ivany, Executive Vice President, Renewables at CAMS. “By bringing asset management, compliance, operations, and technology under one platform, we help owners like NorthStar unlock performance while maintaining the highest standards of reliability and safety across ERCOT.”

Aviator Wind plays a critical role in advancing clean energy goals at both the corporate and regional level. Since entering service in 2020, the project has generated enough electricity to power approximately 230,000 homes annually, while supporting long term offtake agreements with leading corporate energy buyers.

Beyond power generation, the project delivers meaningful local impact in Coke County and the surrounding region, including substantial tax revenue, landowner payments, and long term economic benefits. Aviator Wind also offsets carbon emissions equivalent to removing approximately 300,000 vehicles from the road each year.

“Aviator Wind is a cornerstone asset in our renewable portfolio and a powerful example of what large scale wind can deliver,” said Richard Mukhtar, Chief Operating Officer, NorthStar Clean Energy. “Partnering with CAMS strengthens our operational foundation and ensures the project continues to operate safely, efficiently, and reliably for decades to come.”
