The project received SCPPA board approval in August 2009 and the Notice To Proceed was delivered in early October 2009. Developed by enXco, Linden Wind Project will be transferred to SCPPA upon completion.
“Linden Wind Project represents enXco’s first project developed and built for SCPPA. We are proud to bring the economic and environmental benefits of the Pacific Northwest wind resource to the SCPPA member cities of Los Angeles and Glendale,” enXco President and Chief Executive Officer Tristan Grimbert said. “We look forward to developing a long-term relationship with SCPPA to help them achieve their renewable energy generation goal.”
LADWP will provide project management for the SCPPA participants. The utility will receive 90% (45 MW) of power produced by the wind farm, representing about 0.5% of the utility’s renewable portfolio goal of 20% by 2010. The project will utilize existing transmission to deliver the clean wind power to Los Angeles.
