Pacific Gas and Electric Co.(PG&E) has announced plans for a five-year program to develop up to 500 MW of clean solar photovoltaic power in its northern and central California service area, one of the largest undertakings of its kind in the country.
The proposed program consists of up to 250 MW of utility-owned PV generation - PG&E's first direct investment in renewable generation in over a decade - and an additional 250 MW to be built and owned by independent developers under a streamlined regulatory process. PG&E is submitting its plan to the California Public Utilities Commission for approval, which could come later this year.
