Pacific Gas & Electric, a California investor-owned that has been a voracious purchaser of solar, announced a contract for 230 megawatts of power from the project, slated for 2,100 acres of unused farmland about 80 kilometres north of Los Angeles.
NextLight submitted a zoning application in March and county planners held an initial public meeting last month on environmental issues at the site, which is near the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve.
