Over the past two weeks, two California utilities inked deals for some mega-projects on the renewable energy front, and New York's Con Edison announced some growth on the solar front. Following are some summaries of those projects.

San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and Pattern Energy inked a 20-year contract for 315MW of wind energy to be generated at Pattern's Ocotillo Wind Energy Facility near Ocotillo, Calif., approximately 25 miles west of El Centro in the Imperial Valley. If all government approvals are provided on a timely basis, Pattern Energy plans to complete the project by the end of 2012 to coincide with a 2012 in-service date for the 500kV Sunrise Powerlink transmission line, currently under construction.
