Power provider Southern California Edison announced today that it is partnering with two major solar power installations in Southern California to provide more solar power to its customers. The solar plants are expected to be up-and-running by 2012 or 2013.Currently, only five percent of the renewable energy that SCE buys is solar, but the sources that supply the solar power to the company account for 65 percent of the solar power produced in the U.S. The California state government has set a goal for 20 percent of the power consumed in the state to come from renewable sources by the end of next year. While that's unlikely to happen, agreements and partnerships such as the one SCE made today will certainly go a long way towards making it happen.
