Does anyone know how many new MW of solar will be built for this program?

Good point. PG&E might not be perfect but at least they aren’t overcharging their customers and using the “confiscated” money to build new nuclear reactors which will probably cause rates to go up further.

G’day Matthew, the information you are suggesting exists seems to contradict the information we have covered. Are you in a position to back up your comment with info that I can then turn into a legible addition to the article?

The article incorrectly states that the revised Green Option program proposal “is built atop an already popular proposal” to allow PG&E customers to purchase unbundled RECs from facilities anywhere in the Western United States. Under the settlement, PG&E agrees to withdraw its unbundled REC offering (which was never approved by the California Public Utilities Commission) in favor of a product that links customer subscriptions to long-term contracts with new facilities located within PG&E’s service territory. PG&E’s original unbundled REC proposal was met with intense opposition from consumer, environmental, and labor organizations. This broad-based opposition triggered negotiations that led to the revised proposal that was submitted to state regulators last week.
