Solar power history is being made in Southern California. Southern California Edison and BrightSource Energy from Israel have signed the world's largest solar energy deal.
Now awaiting approval from the California Public Utilities Commission, when the contracts are fulfilled — this could happen by as early as 2013 — the Israeli-California sun project will power almost 1 million California homes.
Israel Kroizer, the chief operating officer, and president of BrightSource in Israel says that when completed, it will be the world's largest solar energy project. Some 1,300 megawatts of energy will be created, with the first plant to be built in Ivanpah, California, expected to generate 286,000 megawatt-hours per year.
