The CPUC approval for five 25-year power purchase agreements allows SDG&E to buy the electricity generated by five power plants in located California, US.
The agreements were signed by SDG&E with LanEast Solar Farm, LanWest Solar Farm, Desert Green Solar Farm, Rugged Solar and Tierra Del Sol Solar Farm, which will be located in Boulevard and Borrego Springs, California.
Energy deliveries from the projects are anticipated to begin in 2014.
The five solar concentrating photovoltaic facilities will provide a combined 114MW of new renewable capacity and an estimated 280GWh of energy annually.
The facilities will use Soitec’s Concentrix concentrating photovoltaic technology and will source the modules from a new Soitec manufacturing plant that will be located in the San Diego region.
