Tipping Point!: US utilities are approaching solar as a least cost resource, SEPA is increasingly becoming a least-cost option for US utilities, SEPA

06.05.2015: The top 10 US utilities accounted for 72% of the annual interconnections of PV systems, with more than 134,000 installations in 2014. According to the report »Utility Solar Market Snapshot 2014,« published by the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA). Pacific Gas & Electric was the utility that installed more solar power in 2014, with over 1.5 GW of new PV capacity, while Southern California Edison (1,043 MW) and San Diego Gas & Electric (430 MW), occupied the second and third position in this ranking, respectively. »In the past year – the report stresses - prices for power purchase agreements (PPAs) in several states continued to fall and approached or in some cases even beat those for natural gas-generated electricity. The improving economics are moving solar into new states. Utilities are even beginning to report that they approach solar as a least cost resource.« © PHOTON
