An unprecedented time for solar photovoltaic: Edison signs deals for seven new solar power plants - latimes.com

The facilities, to be completed by 2016, would more than double the utility's electricity-generating capacity from solar projects. A 325-megawatt photovoltaic installation in Rosamond, Calif., would be one of the nation's largest.

The facilities, when completed by 2016, would add a total of 831 megawatts of electricity-generating capacity, enough to power 540,000 homes, the Rosemead utility said Monday. That represents a significant increase in Edison's ability to deliver power from the sun and other renewable sources.

"This is an unprecedented time for solar photovoltaic," said Marc Ulrich, vice president for renewable and alternative power for Southern California Edison, a unit of Edison International. "We're seeing growth in technological advances and manufacturing efficiencies that result in competitive prices for green, emission-free energy for our customers."
