LCG, July 13, 2026--Avantus, an independent power producer (IPP), and Clean Power Alliance (CPA) today announced a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the Rexford 2 solar and storage project in Tulare County, California. The project will deliver 200 MWac of solar power combined with a 200 MW/800 MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) to the California grid. The project is scheduled to commence construction in 2027 and achieve operations in late 2028. Commercial operations under the PPA are scheduled to start in May 2029. Avantus plans to own and operate facility.

SoCalGas Demonstrates Advanced Solar Cogeneration System
LCG, May 23, 2012--Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) announced that it has initiated a multi-year demonstration of an advanced solar cogeneration system that incorporates concentrated solar photovoltaic (PV) cells. The design, manufactured by Cogenra Solar®, offers the potential for increased efficiency in converting solar energy into both electricity and hot water.
The modular design integrates advanced silicon PV cells, concentrating mirrors with single-axis tracking, and a thermal transfer system to cool the PV cells. The cooler operating temperature for the PV cells increases cell efficiency - and the "waste" heat is used to heat water. A system is now installed at SoCalGas' Energy Resource Center in Downey, California.
SoCalGas Vice President of Customer Solutions stated, "We are excited about the potential of this advanced solar cogeneration system to provide costs savings, sustainable energy and lead to the creation of green jobs. This project will showcase new solar technology and provide a renewable resource for our customers, which contributes to California's renewable energy goals. The start-up of Cogenra's system on the roof has been surprisingly simple and easy due to its modular plug & play design."
The integrated design is modular and small enough in scale to be installed on commercial and industrial building rooftops. Given greater efficiencies, the design requires less space than traditional flat-panel PV systems, plus it delivers hot water.
