Mojave Solar, an affiliate of Abengoa Solar, is developing a 250MW concentrating solar power parabolic trough renewable energy generation facility in San Bernardino County in the US state of California.
PG&E initially submitted a power purchase agreement with Mojave Solar on 27 October 2009.
The power purchase agreement required that the facility provide resource adequacy, PG&E and Mojave Solar renegotiated the power purchase agreement in order to meet the requirements for a Department of Energy Federal Loan Guarantee and to maintain the value of the original power purchase agreement.
CPUC president Michael Peevey said Mojave Solar is the furthest developed new utility-scale solar thermal project that the CPUC has encountered in the capacity of reviewing the utilities RPS power purchase agreements.
