The project will connect the Tecate-based wind farm with the San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) Powerlink transmission system via a new cross-border transmission line. The project is not connected to the Mexican power grid and SDG&E is buying the electricity generated by the project under a 20-year power agreement.
