SDG&E signed 25-year contracts for solar projects with subsidiaries of Sol Orchard, LLC and Soitec Solar Development, LLC.
The firms plan to build a series of facilities to generate solar energy around San Diego County. The Sol Orchard deal calls for delivery of 50 megawatts from 21 small plants, and the Soitec Development agreement is for 30 megawatts.
The company revised a contract with NaturEner to lower output from wind energy projects in Montana from 309 megawatts to 189 megawatts, and reduce financing costs.
Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Tuesday to require utilities to generate one-third of their power from renewable sources by 2020. The previous goal had been 20 percent.
