"In the US, over 10,000 grid-connected solar systems went online in 2006, and in the past 12 months contracts have been put in place for more than 1,000 megawatts of utility-scale solar," said Julia Judd, executive director of SEPA. "It is critical that utilities are provided a venue where they can learn about a technology that is becoming an important part of their generation resource mix."
