RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Dominion Resources is adding to its solar power portfolio.

The Richmond-based energy company says it has acquired a 20-megawatt solar energy facility in California from Canadian Solar Inc.

Dominion says the West Antelope Solar Park is located in Los Angeles County. The company says the project has a 20-year power purchase agreement and an interconnection agreement.

The project's addition brings Dominion's solar generating capacity in development, under construction or in operation to 344 megawatts with facilities in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Utah and Tennessee.

The company says its renewable portfolio also includes about 850 megawatts of capacity generated by biomass, water and wind in Indiana, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.

Dominion Resources Inc. is one of the nation's largest producers and transporters of energy.
