Wanted: Solar PV Suppliers
The solar industry could get a welcome stimulus this year if the California Public Utilities Commission approves an application PG&E filed in February 2009 to develop a series of solar photovoltaic projects in the 1-20 megawatt range, totaling 250 MW over five years. In the interim, PG&E is building a 2 MW pilot plant at its Vaca-Dixon substation.
Total cost of the program, if approved, would run about $1.5 billion. That should create some serious jobs along with a lot of clean energy.
In anticipation of a ruling that could come as early as next month, PG&E plans later this month to request information from potential suppliers to qualify bidders for everything from providing PV modules to installing complete PV systems. Then, if the CPUC ruling is favorable, the utility will be able to move ahead quickly with getting bids and putting shovels in the ground.
Interested suppliers can obtain more information on PG&E's website.
