In summary renewables in the US to be 33% by 2020.
Enviromission has the most competitive Solar Thermal power.
In the docs it mentions 1, and this indicates that 1 tower was in planning for a while. Therfore I rang the company and they CONFIRM 2 solar tower projects at La Paz. (The could not tell me much more than they are quietly confident.) La Paz estimated completion Date 2013.

Note the time frame Sept 14 Pasadena Minutes( 1 tower ) 28 Oct Enviromission Company announcement( 2 towers ).
I know of NO other renewable energy proposal that has doubled like this.

Also of note SCCPA issues their own bonds.

See quotes and links below.
"An Arizona Solar Tower project under development with a
proposed nameplate capacity of approximately 200 MW to be located in western
Arizona in La Paz County. The facility is being developed by Solar Mission
Technologies, lncorporated and EnviroMission (USA) Incorporated. The interconnection
point for this project is anticipated to be at the Marketplace Substation.
The estimated commercial operation date is March 2013."
and
"FISCAL IMPACT:
The energy from these renewable resource projects is expected to increase the average
energy rate, which is part of the total electric cost, from its current 8 cents per kwh to
approximately 10 cents per kwh. These projects are amongst the most competitively
priced and feasible proposals today. The costs of qualifying renewable resources will
likely increase substantially in the future should SB14 become law in its current form."

Now SB 14 requires 33% Energy to be supplied by renewables by 2020.
