California utility Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) plans to increase investment in renewables, storage and energy efficiency beyond its current state mandates while simultaneously phasing out its nuclear power activity in California by 2025.

Arizona Public Service (APS) has requested the Arizona Corporation Commission for the first rate review in five years, with proposals that include an unprecedented mandatory demand charge and the elimination of net-metering.

The non-profit, clean energy education group, formerly known as the Solar Electric Power Association, recently changed its name to the Smart Electric Power Alliance. Along with the name change, the company has realigned its core objectives, seeking no longer to focus on “solar in a vacuum” but on the evolution of solar within a network of other technologies and incentives.

The US trade body formerly known as the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) is to undergo a rebranding and drop ‘solar’ from its new name.

Sandstone Solar, a 45MW PV plant in Arizona, has been officially opened by developer Spower and utility Salt River Project, which will buy power from the plant.

Global utility E.ON has completed a 20MW solar project in California as the group continues its progress towards becoming solely focused on renewables.
