San Diego Gas & Electric  has contracted for an additional 120 MW of solar and geothermal power by 2010.

Two solar contracts with Bethel Energy will add nearly 100 MW of renewable electricity to SDG&E’s energy portfolio. Another contract with Esmeralda Energy will supply an additional 20 MW of geothermal energy beyond the 20 MW SDG&E announced in March 2006.

The renewables facilities will be built in Imperial Valley, California.

SDG&E now has approximately 16 percent of its customers’ energy requirements under contract to be delivered by 2010.
