Edison Mission, a subsidiary of Edison International, plans up to build up to 1,000 megawatts (MW) of wind power generation in the mid-Atlantic region over the next five years, which could more than double Edison Mission's current 654 MW investment in wind power projects, both completed and under way.

Edison Mission will work with privately owned developer, U.S. Wind Force, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to build the wind power facilities. Building all 1,000 MW would cost about $2 billion, said U.S. Wind Chief Executive David McAnally, who said the companies will focus on sites in Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia.
