Shiloh II Wind Energy Project
The Shiloh II Wind Project, valued at over $300 million, represents one of two wind energy facilities built in California in 2008. This 150 MW project, six times larger than the other facility, comes as a result of four years of dedication and steadfast support from numerous stakeholders to further develop wind projects in Solano County. Collaborative efforts by enXco, Pacific Gas & Electric, Solano County, and Travis Air Force Base, as well as landowner and community leadership of Rio Vista brought this impressive project to completion.


The project further represents the largest global installation of the REpower MM92 turbine. The 75 turbines stand amongst 6,100 acres of farmland, 98% of which remain usable for farming and ranching, in the rolling hills of the Montezuma Hills Wind Resource Area. Shiloh II provides clean electricity to approximately 74,000 PG&E customers annually, further demonstrating the utility's commitment to renewables and their goal to meet the State's ambitious Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) to procure 20% of generated energy from renewable sources by 2010. enXco has developed over 60% of the total new installed wind capacity since the 2002 passage of California's RPS. enXco is proud of Shiloh II's important role in California's clean energy future.
