California power provider to purchase 100 percent of power from new solar energy facilities
NET LAW - Southern California Edison has agreed to purchase 100 percent of the solar energy from three separate solar projects in the state that will be built and operated by Recurrent Energy. The three projects, which will consist of photovoltaic ground-mounted solar panel power systems, will generate a combined peak output of 50 megawatts of DC power. Two of the projects will be located in the state's Kern County, while the third station will be built in San Bernardino County.
The projects will begin construction in 2012 and are currently slated to be completed by early 2013.
"These
projects are a great example of the potential for distributed-scale
solar to deliver significant quantities of power on relatively short
timeframes," said Arno Harris, Recurrent's CEO.
