eSolar, a producer of large-scale solar thermal power plants, received $130 million in new investment funds in April 2008. The company has since signed a power purchase agreement with Southern California Edison to build a total of 245 megawatts (MW) of concentrating solar power plants in Southern California. The plants are expected to begin electricity production in 2011. Such renewable energy plants are expected to become a viable replacement for fossil fuel power plants.
