GE to supply 500MW of wind turbines to PPM Energy

Under two recent agreements GE Energy will deliver approximately 500MW of GE 1.5MW wind turbines for projects planned by PPM Energy during 2006 and 2007. The recent agreements with PPM call for a total of 334 GE 1.5MW units. PPM Energy, which is based in Portland, Oregon, is part of the ScottishPower group of companies. With a portfolio of more than 1,600MW of wind power under its control in operation or under construction, PPM Energy is well on its way towards its goal of bringing 2,300MW of new wind power to market by 2010.
