Renewable energy provider sPower (Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.) on May 17th,
2016 announced that Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E)
recently awarded the company 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
contracts for three new solar photovoltaic (PV) projects in California.
The three solar PV facilities totaling 60 MW-ac, named Bayshore A, B and C, located in Lancaster, California, will be constructed and commissioned in 2017.
When fully operational, the Bayshore PV cluster will
generate enough clean, renewable energy to power more than 11,000
Californian homes.
“We are excited to expand our relationship with
PG&E to a total of more than 100 megawatts of solar, helping
PG&E to achieve their goals of delivering safe, reliable, clean
energy to their customers,” said Ryan Creamer, sPower CEO.
sPower projects put hundreds of people to work,
create real and lasting benefits for local communities and deliver
renewable energy to California homes at competitive prices, the company
notes.
California renewable portfolio standard policy
requires utilities to source a third of their electricity from renewable
sources by 2020. Earlier this year, PG&E announced that they are
well ahead of schedule, having already reached nearly 30 percent –
maintaining the utility’s position as a national front-runner in
greenhouse gas reductions.
