CHICAGO, Aug. 13, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- The California Public Utilities Commission has issued an interim opinion that could result in substantial new transmission capacity being built in the Tehachapi, Calif. area. The CPUC based its decision on the fact that the Tehachapi area contains the largest wind resource in the state and could be relied upon to meet a significant part of the state's renewable portfolio standard of 13% by 2010 and 20% by 2017. U.S. Wind Farming (Pink Sheets:USWF), America's only publicly traded wind farming company, will establish cooperatives within this area to help the CPUC meet these goals.
"We are in the process of conducting studies for this potential long-term project," stated William Telander, CEO. "With the goal of forming renewable-energy co-ops on a foundation of small clusters of large state-of-the-art General Electric (NYSE:GE) wind turbines, 1.5 and 2.5 megawatt in size." The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the nation's largest municipal utility, is seeking to acquire an additional 1.32 million MWh per year of renewable energy by the end of 2010.
U.S. Wind Farming, Inc. is an emerging public renewable energy developer and operator forming renewable energy co-ops on a foundation of small clusters of large state-of-the-art General Electric wind turbines (1.5 MW and 2.5 MW) utilizing unique GE technology for long, reliable performance, variable speed control and independent blade pitch for reduced loads and cost effective operation, and unique Wind Volt-Amp-Reactive (WindVAR) electronics for local grid support and improved transmission efficiencies.
