So-called Monterey Bay Community Power creates jobs elsewhere for substainable electricity that is still not enough to keep the lights on.
Monterey Bay Community Power’s recent signing of two long-term solar renewable energy project development agreements, in partnership with Silicon Valley Clean power, has helped the state’s community choice aggregators surpass a significant milestone, even as they deal with the fallout from a California Public Utilities Commission decision on so-called “exit fees.”
The local agency’s power purchase agreements with two solar projects to be built in Kern and Kings counties pushed the state’s community choice aggregators over 2,000 megawatts in long-term contracts with renewable energy facilities, more than double last year’s total.
