“This is an exciting milestone to reach in a valued long-term relationship,” said Brian Kunz, First Solar’s VP, project development – US West. “As an early off-taker, SCE was visionary in their inclusion of utility-scale solar in their energy mix. Their commitment to providing rate-payers with clean, affordable renewable energy continues with this set of agreements.”
