ORIGINAL SOURCE

More than 1% of California’s electricity comes from the wind. During breezy early mornings in summer, the contribution goes even higher. “At those times, the wind accounts for up to 8% of our electrical load,” said Mary A. Ilyin, a wind researcher for Pacific Gas & Electric, the country’s largest utility and a major booster of wind power.

Half of California’s turbines . . . are located in Altamont Pass and feed directly into PG&E’s grid. Most of the rest are found in two other major wind centers: Tehachapi Pass on the edge of the Mojave Desert between Bakersfield and Barstow, with a capacity of 458 megawatts, and San Gorgonio Pass north of Palm Springs (231 megawatts). Both are hooked up to the power lines of Southern California Edison.

From Golden, Frederic. “Electric Wind.” Los Angeles Times, 24 Dec. 1990, p. B1.
