Charlotte, N.C.-based Duke Energy has announced that it is expanding its renewable energy portfolio through a contract to purchase 100 1.5 MW wind turbines from General Electric (GE).

The turbines, capable of generating a total of 150 MW, are anticipated to be in service in the 2009-2010 time frame on sites currently under review in the western and southwestern U.S.
