Once operational, both plants will generate enough electricity to power about 10,000 California homes. Duke will sell the energy generated by the plants to Southern California Edison (SCE) through a 20-year power purchase agreement.

Greg Wolf, president of Duke Energy Renewables said: “Pumpjack and Wildwood will more than double our solar power capacity in California…We're pleased to be working with Swinerton to provide an increasing supply of affordable, clean energy to the nation's number one solar market.”
