GE Energy Financials latest investment is a US$100 million investment in LS Power’s US$550 million Arlington Valley Solar Energy II project. Construction on the crystalline silicon solar plant in Arizona is slated to begin next month, with operation expected by the end of 2013. San Diego Gas & Electric will buy the power from the plant with Fluor Corporation designing, building, operating and maintaining the solar farm.
