North Star Solar signs PPA with PG&E

North Star Solar, the wholly owned affiliate of NorthLight Power - the joint-venture between REC and the Summit Power Group - has signed a 60MW solar power purchase agreement with Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E). NorthLight Power will act as project developer of the project, which will be located in Mendota, Fresno County, California.

The project, which is expected to utilize REC modules, is subject to approval by the California Public Utilities Commission, completion of CAISO interconnection studies, and receipt of certain environmental and other permits related to the site in Fresno County. NorthLight Power must also secure external equity and debt financing for the project on behalf of North Star Solar. NorthLight Power is currently working to select an EPC provider for the project.

The project is expected to be up and running by the end of the second quarter 2013. No further details have been disclosed.

  • Photovoltaics International 22nd Edition

    The period of ‘profitless prosperity’ in the PV industry is finally at an end. Throughout 2013, despite continued economic woes, the PV industry has continued to expand and finally become a global industry. Market forecasts indicating that the sector could reach its next 100GW milestone in just the next two years suggest the industry is on the cusp of another period of strong growth. All the signs confirm this is the case, with utilization rates at their highest level since 2010, companies reporting full order books well into next year and the first tentative announcements of factory capacity expansions making the headlines. Although the really significant capacity expansions that would confirm a fullblooded upswing have yet to materialize, ‘effective capacity’ in 2014 is highly unlikely to meet end-market demand, should forecasts of 45 to 55GW come true. When the next technology and buy cycle occurs is still a moot point but it’s closer than many would have dared to think at the beginning of this year. The 22nd edition of Photovoltaics International will be an indispensible resource as that buy cycle draws nearer.
