October 15, 2003—FPL Energy and PPM Energy Inc. recently dedicated FPL Energy’s High Winds Energy Center located in Solano County, California. The center will be capable of generating 162-megawatts—enough electricity to power nearly seventy-five thousand homes. This makes it the largest wind farm in California. FPL expects to complete a previously announced expansion of the facility by the end of the year.
The center furthers PPM Energy’s goal of bringing 2,000 megawatts of new wind power to market by 2010.
