The second and third phases will begin delivering power to the grid in 2012 and 2013, respectively.

NRG will assume all ownership and financing responsibilities. NRG Solar plans to invest up to $450 million in the project over the next four years, and a loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Loan Guarantee Program Office is being pursued.

Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) signed a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the output from the project in August 2008, and the PPA was approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
