Abstract: Texas's windfarm construction continues unabated, despite wind energy's cannibalization effect on wind generation's investment incentive and the rising popularity of short-term wind power purchase agreements (PPAs). Using ERCOT's monthly data for Jan-2011 to Dec-2021, we develop spot energy price forecasts by time of day (TOD) and their standard deviations to derive the efficient frontiers (EFs) for spot and forward energy sales of a risk-averse windfarm developer under a short-term wind PPA of not more than 10 years. These EFs reveal a windfarm's operating revenue forecast tends to increase with the PPA's forward energy prices. Further, the windfarm's revenue risk and forecast move in tandem, akin to the risk-return relationship rooted in Markowitz's portfolio theory. Hence, the developer tends to sell 100% (
