Winds of Change Blow Through California Power Grid

The whirling blades of 100 giant wind turbines sent a jolt of electricity into California’s power grid as a group gathered in Rio Vista [last week] to dedicate the Shiloh Wind Power Plant.

Combined, the 30-story high turbines can generate 150 megawatts of power at full capacity, enough juice to power more than 100,000 PG&E electric customers, according to Jon Tremayne of PG&E.
