A Portland subsidiary of ScottishPower plans to build a 150-megawatt wind farm in Northern California's Solano County.

PPM Energy, which along with PacifiCorp is owned by ScottishPower, said the wind farm should be up and running sometime this year.

The local company acquired the project, which has all necessary permits, from Enxco, a company affiliated with EDF Energies Nouvelles of France. The project is valued at $235 million. The wind farm is located between San Francisco and Sacramento, Calif.

PPM currently controls approximately 830 megawatts of wind power in seven states.
