Pacific Gas & Electric Co., the utility owned by PG&E; Corp. of San Francisco, won approval from regulators for a solar power contract with Sempra Generation, a unit of Sempra Energy of San Diego.
Under a 20-year contract, Pacific Gas will buy power from a 10-megawatt photovoltaic solar plant in Boulder City, Nev. Sempra and First Solar Inc. said in April that they would expand the facility by 48 megawatts using First Solar’s thin-film technology.
The California Public Utilities Commission approved the contract at its meeting in San Francisco. State law requires California utilities to get 20% of their power from renewable sources by the end of 2010.
