Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) –New Mexico Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard signed an agreement with AFE Cedarville Wind to develop a 10,160-acre wind farm on state lands in Torrance County. The farm would generate around 212 megawatts of renewable electricity as well as millions of dollars in revenue for public schools over the lifetime of the agreement. The project came about after a public auction at the State Land Office where the right to the lease was purchased for $340,000. There are now 56 renewable energy leases at the State Land Office
