Edison Mission Group commissions wind energy project providing clean energy to the state of Maryland

Edison Mission Group, a subsidiary of Edison International, has announced commissioning of the Pinnacle Wind Farm at NewPage located on Green Mountain, near the Maryland-West Virginia border. The 23-turbine wind farm has a maximum generating capacity of 55 megawatts (MW), enough electricity to meet the average needs of about 14,000 homes. The project sells two-thirds of its output to the Maryland Department of General Services and one-third to the University of Maryland system. Through the Generating Clean Horizons program, the state and university system of Maryland have committed to purchase 78 MW of energy produced from two wind farms and one solar installation over 20 years.
