NRG Solar Achieves Commercial Operation of Two Solar PV Projects in California

NRG Energy, through its wholly owned subsidiary NRG Solar, announced that two of the solar photovoltaic (PV) facilities the company acquired from Recurrent Energy earlier this year have reached commercial operation. The two California based solar PV facilities, totaling 40 MW (AC), deliver electricity to Southern California Edison (SCE) and Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). The two solar PV facilities are located in Lancaster, California and Kings County, California; each facility has a peak capacity of 20-MW (AC). The project in Lancaster reached commercial operation in March of this year and the Kings County project began operations this June. Recurrent Energy developed both projects, which will be owned and operated by NRG.
