Stirling Energy to Build Solar Power Facility for SDG&E
September 8, 2005
Stirling Energy Systems Inc. (SES, Phoenix, AZ), a developer of alternative energy solutions using solar, wind, and green energy, announced a 300 MW to 900 MW solar power facility for San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) in Southern California. When complete, the project will provide 30 times more solar power than all the current solar capacity in the entire San Diego region.
Stirling Energy and SDG&E have agreed to a 20-year contract to
purchase all the output from a 300 MW solar power plant, which will
consist of 12,000 Stirling solar dishes on approximately three
square miles in the Imperial Valley of Southern California. SDG&E
has options on two future phases that could add up to 600 MW of
additional solar energy capacity to SDG&E's resource mix. This
contract will still have to be approved by the California Public
Utilities Commission.
"This large-scale application of SES technology will provide clean, renewable solar energy to SDG&E customers," said Stirling Energy CEO Bruce Osborn. "We believe this is a truly historic moment for the solar energy industry, and we are pleased to be teaming with a progressive and innovative company like SDG&E."
