PARIS--(Business Wire)--
Regulatory News:

   enXco, EDF Energies Nouvelles' (Paris:EEN) US subsidiary, has
obtained a permit from the authorities of the Solano County,
California, to build a 150 MW wind farm. This new large-scale wind
farm, owned by enXco, will strengthen EDF Energies Nouvelles Group's
already strong presence in California.

   Located in Solano County, California, the Shiloh II project will
be comprised of 75 turbines, each with 2 MW in capacity, supplied by
German manufacturer REpower. The project is backed by a 20-year power
purchase agreement with US electricity company Pacific Gas & Electric.
Construction of the facility is due to be completed in late 2008.

   This 150 MW project represents a significant success for EDF
Energies Nouvelles' Californian subsidiary. Following the 150 MW
Shiloh I wind farm developed in 2005 for a third party, Shiloh II
advances the Group's already strong presence in California, a state
heavily committed to renewable energy. Shiloh II represents the 15th
California wind farm to be owned by enXco increasing total gross
capacity to 448 MW.
