摘要

SunPower Corp has signed three power purchase agreements with Southern California Edison (SCE) for delivery of a total of 711 MW of solar power. SunPower will install its solar technology at sites in Rosamond and Los Banos, Calif. Marc Ulrich, SCE's VP, Renewable and Alternative Power says, "This is an important turning point for solar PV power. The advances in photovoltaic technology, coupled with economies of scale, enable SCE to provide Californians with a large-scale power plant's worth of emission-free energy at a competitive price." Howard Wenger, president of SunPower's utility and power plants business group says, "This historic 711 MW commitment by SCE reflects the growing value of solar PV technology as a reliable, cost-effective energy resource delivered across rooftops or as a central-station power plant.
