210-megawatt solar-power plant proposed for California

SAN FRANCISCO -(Dow Jones)- An official at the California Public Utilities Commission proposed Tuesday that regulators approve a power purchase agreement between a unit of PG&E Corp. (PCG) and solar-panel maker SunPower Corp. (SPWRA).

The contract is for 550 gigawatt-hours a year for 25 years from a 210-megawatt solar-power plant that SunPower has proposed building in San Luis Obispo County, Calif., about 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles. The project will use solar panels made with monocrystalline silicon cells that will be mounted on tilted single-axis tracking systems, according to a proposed decision by CPUC Executive Director Paul Clanon.
