US thin-film module producer First Solar Inc. announced that MCE has entered into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for electricity generated from 40 MW of First Solar's Little Bear solar project in Fresno County, California, USA. The project, designed to be built out eventually to 160 MW, is anticipated to begin construction in 2019, with commissioning expected in 2020. As leading community choice aggregator (CCA) in California, MCE offers their customers the benefits of locally controlled, competitively priced renewable energy options. The Little Bear PPA is First Solar's first with a CCA. In the agreement, MCE will initially purchase electricity from Little Bear's 40 MW first phase, with an option to expand up to the project's full 160 MW as their load increases through potential expansion. More details of the deal were not disclosed. © PHOTON
