Posted on: Friday, 21 December 2007, 12:00 CST
Renewable energy generator UPC Wind has received approval to supply the city of Los Angeles with wind power from its Utah-based Milford Wind Corridor project, under a 20-year power purchase agreement.
Approved by the mayor and the city council, the power purchase agreement was made with the Southern California Public Power Authority, acting on behalf of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and the cities of Burbank and Pasadena.
As part of the long-term power purchase agreement, the LADWP will receive 185MW from phase one of the Milford project with the cities of Burbank and Pasadena getting 10MW and 5MW from the project respectively.
The 185MW share that LADWP is to receive represents enough power to serve about 39,000 homes and meets 1.9% of the city's renewable energy goal of 20% by 2010.
Paul Gaynor, president and CEO of UPC Wind, said: "The approval of this power purchase agreement by the mayor and the LA city council is a major milestone for our Utah-based Milford Wind Corridor project. In addition to the clean, wind energy that the project will produce for the city of Los Angeles, it will be a source of revenue and new jobs to the Utah region where it will be built."
