Shiloh IV Wind Project represents a repowering effort to upgrade older technology allowing for increased generation of clean energy with fewer wind turbines. Project development includes the removal of 235 existing Kenetech 100kW turbines. The original project was installed in 1989, with an installed capacity of 25.2 MW."With Shiloh IV, enXco will have developed five wind projects in the Montezuma Hills Wind Resource Area for a total of 505 MW which is over half of all wind energy facilities developed in Solano County. This project also demonstrates our long-term successful business relationship with PG&E and builds on our latest partnership -- Shiloh III (102.5 MW), which is currently under construction with an anticipated date of completion in late December 2011. We are pleased to once again support PG&E's resource procurement strategy to meet future power needs with clean energy solutions," said Tristan Grimbert, president & CEO of enXco."Wind power is a key piece of our commitment to providing our customers with more clean, renewable electricity," said Fong Wan, senior vice president for energy procurement for PG&E. "Today's agreement is another step forward in reaching our long-term goals of developing, generating and purchasing more green energy to serve our customers."Contacts: Morten Paulsen 403.399.3377 morten@paulsengroup.caDr. Zareipour points out additional benefits of such a system, "With a 'smart charging system', when a vehicle is plugged in, the grid operator has control over its charging. In fact, the battery can even be discharged to provide power back to the grid. So, car owners could realize some benefits in return for supplying power to the grid. Although a smart charging system requires an initial investment in communication infrastructure and incentive plans to encourage owners to participate, it would bring with it several advantages, including significant environmental benefits."
