In terms of meeting California's renewable energy goals, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) had a good year in 2011 thanks to the addition of wind and solar projects. PG&E added more than 220 MW of clean energy to its generation mix in 2011 and is off to a good start in 2012 with signed contracts for future delivery of 463 MW of new renewable power. In 2011, approximately 19 percent of its electricity sales came from renewable sources and the company predicts it will reach 20 percent in 2012. Like other California utilities, PG&E must meet 33 percent by 2020.
