| The Pebble Springs Wind Project
is located in Gilliam County, Oregon, near the
town of Arlington.
In early 2009, the SCPPA member cities of Burbank,
Glendale, and Los Angeles began taking delivery
of wind energy from the Pebble Springs Wind Project.
This project was purchased from Pebble Springs
Wind, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PPM Energy
(Iberdrola Renewables' U.S. energy business).
SCPPA member agencies will receive the entire
energy output of the Pebble Springs wind farm.
The project is expected to produce more than 275,000
megawatt-hours annually -- enough wind energy
to serve more than 45,800 homes.
LADWP will receive 69 MW, and the cities of Burbank
and Glendale will be entitled to 10 MW and 20
MW, respectively.
The Project will interconnect to the Bonneville
Power Administration system through a connection
to the Jones Canyon substation adjacent to the
existing Leaning Juniper Wind Power Project. SCPPA
will move the energy via the existing Pacific
HVDC Transmission Line that feeds directly into
LADWP's Sylmar Converter Station.
Pebble Springs Wind Project marks another significant
step in achieving the goal of increasing the amount
of clean, renewable energy used by these three
SCPPA members.
