Posted on: Friday, 21 October 2005, 15:42 CDT
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Utility San Diego Gas & Electric Co. said on Friday it will supply 205 megawatts of wind energy to its customers under an agreement with wind power developer Enxco.
SDG&E, a unit of Sempra Energy, said its contract with Enxco calls for construction of a wind farm in Southern California, with deliveries expected to begin in 2007-2008.
The contract requires approval by the California Public Utilities Commission.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Enxco is an affiliate of EdF Energies Nouvelles, part of France's Electricite de France, one of Europe's largest power companies.
The San Diego utility plans to supply 20 percent of its power from renewable energy like wind, solar and geothermal by 2010.
One megawatt of wind energy can power about 250 to 300 homes, according to the American Wind Energy Association.
