 Southern California Edison has signed 20 contracts with six different independent power producer firms for nearly 240MW (AC) of solar photovoltaic systems to be deployed close to major transmission lines in various parts of the utility’s service areas in Southern California.

The agreements resulted from SCE’s 2010 Renewable Standard Contracts “request for offers.”

Ranging from 5MW to 20MW when completed, the installations are scheduled to come online in 2013 and 2014.

Nine of the contracts were secured by Silverado Power, a unit of Martifer Solar, which is slated to build 100MW of ground-mounted PV projects in the Lancaster and Victorville areas.

Concentrator PV company Amonix landed four contracts totaling 28.5MW in installed distributed-generation capacity, while juwi solar’s U.S. unit (38MW), Foresight Renewables (34MW), and  Sharp Solar subsidiary Recurrent Energy (30MW) each won a pair of contracts. Clean Peak Energy scored a single 8.5MW offering.    

The contract-winning IPPs are responsible for any required permitting and must conduct environmental impact studies in accordance with local, state, and federal jurisdictions, according to the utility, which added that there will be minimal transmission upgrades to accommodate the projects.
