20MW Guernsey Site

The facility is located in the city of Hanford, in California’s Central Valley, and occupies 59 hectares. Completed in September 2013, it generates an estimated 52,000 MWh/year, eliminating the emission of 45,000 tons of CO2 per year.

This project is part of the first phase of a five-year, 250-MW project aimed at leveraging PG&E’s expertise in power generation development and project finance to grow the state’s clean energy market. In approving PG&E’s proposal to build a series of medium-sized solar plants, the California Public Utilities Commission called it “another significant step in advancing the development of renewable generation in California.”

“The central valley holds tremendous potential as a source of clean energy for California,” said Mike Jones, PG&E’s Power Generation Lead. “Our solar projects in the region are a win for the local economy and for the state’s environment.”
