$1.2 Billion Secured for What Will Be the Largest US Wind Farm

After the last few years, in which it seems the US has been severely lagging behind our European counterparts in the wind power game, we’re finally bringing home the renewable energy projects — we’ve got the Lake Erie fresh water wind farm and a final “yes” on the Cape Cod wind farm. The addition to the Alta Wind Energy Center in California is a nice topper to this recent list of wins. Terra-Gen’s addition will come in the shape of four separate additions to their existing wind farms in California and will use 190 V90-3.0 MW turbines. The initial 5 projects which are already installed or under construction, will fulfill a contract signed with Southern California Edison in 2006 and will up California’s wind-energy by 25%.
