We hear about new innovative ways to create electricity in alternative, more environmentally friendly and more efficient ways at least a couple times every week. PG&E is a hot candidate for the prize for the most adventurous way so far: The company wants to provide solar power that has been sent from a satellite to Earth.

According to a company blog post, PG&E has contracted a Southern California-based Solaren, to deliver 200 megawatts of power within a 15 year period through Solaren’s satellites. Those satellites act as small solar power plants, convert it into radio frequency, send it to a base station on Earth, where it is converted to electricity.
