Peninsula Clean Energy has broken ground on a 200-MW solar project in the Central Valley of California.
The company called it the largest California solar installation being built exclusively for a community choice aggregation (CCA) agency. The Wright Solar facility is expected to come online in late 2019 and provide electricity for 299,000 customers in San Mateo County.
“This is a huge step for Peninsula Clean Energy and our customers,” said CEO Jan Pepper. “The Wright Solar project moves us toward our goal of providing all customers with 100 percent renewable power by 2025. This long-term contract locks in the price we pay for electricity, which helps ensure that our rates will remain low. The size of the project is unique for a CCA and positions PCE as a leader in the industry.”
