Sempra Generation, a unit of Sempra Energy (SRE), announced that the California Public Utilities Commission or CPUC has approved Pacific Gas & Electric's contract to purchase 48 megawatts of photovoltaic solar power from Sempra Generation's Copper Mountain Solar facility.
The CPUC's approval of the contract signals the January 2010 construction start for the facility, an expansion of Sempra Generation's existing 10-MW El Dorado Solar power plant. Both projects are located near Boulder City, Nevada, about 40 miles southeast of Las Vegas, and each will provide power to PG&E under two 20-year power contracts.
