Lightsource signs PPA deals with SMUD and CDEC for 16 MW solar PV project in California

Lightsource BP announced two new US collaborations, with California’s Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) and with Continental Divide Electric Cooperative (CDEC), a member-owned distribution cooperative in New Mexico. The power purchase agreements (PPAs), comprising 25 megawatts (MWs), will bring locally-generated solar photovoltaic (PV) power to the utilities’ customers over 20+ year terms.

Wildflower Solar I, roughly 16 MW_DC, will be located within SMUD’s territory and will support SMUD’s popular community solar program, SolarShares.
