Tehachapi Renewal Project
- Tehachapi Renewal Project
Southern California Edison has started construction of the Tehachapi Renewal Project, a desert wind farm that could provide power for 3 million homes by 2013. Officials estimate that the wind farm will eventually provide 4,500 megawatts of electricity, which would make it the largest wind project in the United States. The project will harness the wind blowing through the Tehachapi Mountains about 100 miles north of Los Angeles.
