SDG&E Signs Large Solar Power, Other Renewable Energy Pacts


MEDIA ADVISORY, Sept. 6, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) --



 WHAT: San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) is unveiling a solar

       track the sun as it moves across the sky, will be located in
       the Imperial Valley. The addition of this project will move
       SDG&E significantly closer to meeting its goal of supplying
       20 percent of its customers' needs by 2010 from renewable
       resources like solar, wind and biomass.

 WHEN: Wednesday, September 7, 2005, at 10:30 a.m.

        of SDG&E.

       the project.

 VISUALS: Extensive b-roll of the solar array, an 8-second time-lapse
          of the device tracking the sun, and a small-scale display
          to be used during interviews.  Executive interviews will be
          available.
