Using the Delta Breeze to power low-cost, renewable energy and our 2030 Clean Energy Vision

Working on SMUD’s Power Generation team, Renewable Generation Assets Manager Ryan Donovan is responsible for overseeing the operations and maintenance of our Solano Wind Farm. Over the next few years, we’ll be expanding wind generation capacity at the site, which currently holds 107 wind turbines and generates 228 MW of power – enough to power about 75,000 homes. Bringing more renewable, low-cost and proven clean energy technology online will be crucial in our efforts to achieve our goal of eliminating carbon emissions in our power supply by 2030.
