LOS ANGELES (AP) - California's largest utility plans to boost the amount of solar power it buys from homes and businesses.
Pacific Gas & Electric Co. plans to ask state regulators to approve the change.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says the move should encourage more homeowners to install rooftop solar panels.
More than 50,000 homes and businesses in the sunny state generate solar power. They can get credits against their electric use by providing any excess power they generate to utilities.
The governor plans to push to end limits on the amount of solar power purchased by utilities from customers.
Last year, solar power accounted for less than 1 percent of the electricity generated in California.
San Francisco-based PG&E provides natural gas and electric service to approximately 15 million people in northern and central California, according to its Web site.
