Houston company wins contract to operate South Texas wind farm
Houston-based Consolidated Asset Management Services (CAMS), which provides services for owners of energy infrastructure, has added the owner of a South Texas wind power project to its customer list.
The new customer, InfraRed Capital Partners, owns the 202-megawatt Mesteño Wind Project in the Rio Grande Valley. InfraRed bought the wind farm from Charlotte, North Carolina-based power provider Duke Energy in 2024. CAMS will provide asset management, remote operations, maintenance, compliance and IT services for the Mesteño project.
Mesteño began generating power in 2019. The wind farm is connected to the electric grid operated by the Energy Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).
With the addition of Mesteño, CAMS now manages wind energy projects with generation capacity of more than 2,500 megawatts.
Mesteño features one of the tallest wind turbine installations in the U.S., with towers reaching 590.5 feet. Located near Rio Grande City, the project produces enough clean energy to power about 60,000 average homes.
In June, CAMS was named to the Financial Times’ list of the 300 fastest-growing companies in North and South America. The company’s revenue grew more than 70 percent from 2020 to 2023.
Earlier this year, CAMS jumped into the super-hot data center sector with the rollout of services designed to help deliver reliable, cost-effective power to energy-hungry data centers. The initiative focuses on supplying renewable energy and natural gas.
