SALT LAKE CITY -- A power producer has agreed to wheel 200 megawatts of wind power from Utah's west desert to Los Angeles, Burbank and Pasadena.

The Intermountain Power Agency, which owns a high-voltage transmission line running from central Utah to southern California, said it had enough capacity to pick up the power from 80 wind turbines in a project under development seven miles north of Milford in Beaver County.

The IPA announced Friday it had signed an interconnection agreement with project developer UPC Wind of Massachusetts.

Los Angeles will receive 185 megawatts, Burbank 10 megawatts and Pasadena 5 megawatts of the wind power. Combined, it's enough to electricity for more than 40,000 homes.

The wind farm is expected to be operational by year's end.
