Earlier this year, PG&E inked a deal for 230MW from NextLight’s planned AV Solar Ranch One in California.
Both deals require approval from the California Public Utilities Commission.
Agua Caliente is planned for a 971-hectare agricultural property east of Yuma, Arizona. NextLight had planned either a solar thermal development with storage or a solar photovoltaic (PV) development with greater peak production. According to PG&E’s announcement, the power purchase agreement is for PV electricity
In September, the developer received a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility from the Arizona Corporation Commission, clearing the way for construction to begin.
