TAFT, Texas (AP) - A 109- turbine wind farm in San Patricio County has begun generating energy into the Texas power grid.

The $200 million Papalote Creek wind farm, a complex near Taft owned by E. ON Climate & Renewables, officially went into service Thursday.

Most of the power produced during the next 15 years will be sold to CPS Energy, which provides electricity to the city of San Antonio.

John Bonnin, manager of wholesale power marketing for CPS, marked the start of the power production by saying: "That's 10 kilowatts, 15 kilowatts."

Taft is a town of about 3,400, located 15 miles north of Corpus Christi.
