Sacramento MUD's Wind Installation Upgraded

LCG, June 11, 2004--A wind installation in Rio Vista, California, which supplies the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, has an additional seven turbines supplying 5 megawatts.

The greatest level of output is expected to be obtained during the period of May through September, which is also the time during which seasonal demand is highest. SMUD has increased the number of turbines at the facility in Solano County a few times since its original installation in 1994.
