The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), proposes to permit, construct, and operate up to 75 wind turbine generators (WTGs) in the Collinsville-Montezuma Hills Wind Resource Area (WRA) in the southern portion of Solano County, CA.

The project would have a net energy production capacity of up to 128 megawatts (MW).
