Gov. Schwarzenegger Applauds Approval of Edison Solar Roof Program
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today issued the statement below
following the California Public Utilities Commission's approval of a solar
photovoltaic (PV) program for Southern California Edison that will result in
the deployment of 500 megawatts of PV on existing commercial rooftops in
Edison's service territory:
"This is a great step toward our vision of one day seeing
solar panels on millions of rooftops across the Golden State. In order to meet California's
long-term renewable energy and climate change goals, we need a mix of renewable
sources and projects of all sizes - all of which are underway - spurring
innovation and creating green jobs in our state."
