Pacific Gas & Electric (PGE) has signed contracts to purchase at least 2.0 GW of electricity. This included 830 mW of solar electricity to help meet the 2010 state requirements. The electricity will be generated by 3 different plants.
One of the plants, a 586 mW natural gas plant, will be built near Oakley by 2014. Another 719 mW natural gas plant will be built by 2013 next to the existing Mirant's plants in Antioch. The rest of the 2.0 GW of electricity will be generated by a solar system.
