SUSTAINABLE PG&E is increasing the supplies of renew-
able power available to our customers at an unprece-
dented pace. California has set one of the highest targets
in the country for the portion of the state’s power that
comes from renewable sources. We supported this target,
and we are on track to achieve it.
Last year, we announced a number of watershed
agreements with suppliers, providing the
catalyst for the construction of new
renewable energy facilities. In total, these
contracts committed PG&E to new future
purchases of 1,024 megawatts. These
ranged from well-established sources like
wind and geothermal energy to upstart
technologies designed to tap remarkable
new sources of power, like wave power
from proposed facilities off the California coast.
For example, our purchase commitments are driving
the construction of utility-scale concentrating-solar
facilities in the Mojave desert, including the largest single
commitment for concentrating-solar energy to date.
This technology uses concentrated heat from the sun
to drive conventional steam generators. PG&E is also
pioneering the use of pipeline-quality natural gas using
biomethane from cow waste and other organic materials.
PG&E is working with
innovative companies and
California dairy farmers to
capture methane from large
California dairy farms and turn
it into a new source of clean,
renewable natural gas for the
benefi t of our customers and
the environment.
