AES Corp., an electric utility that's been phasing out of coal and expanding in renewables, is acquiring a major solar plant under construction in California.

AES has acquired the Bellefield solar plant and storage project in Kern County from solar-power developer Avantus LLC, according to a statement reviewed by Bloomberg News. The 2-gigawatt project, which would provide enough electricity to power 1.5 million California homes, will start supplying the grid in 2025.
