memoranda of understanding for early work on high-speed rail corridors in both northern and southern california. i especially want to thank commissioner wiener and his staff, my staff, and executive director for the work we have done in collaboration with other agencies to negotiate a regional agreement with the ntc and our caltrain corridor partners. as a result of that collaboration, we now have a memorandum of understanding that fully reflects the importance of -- high-speed rail and it will ensure that caltrain is electrified in the downtown extension is actually built. i am proud to report that because of this work, the project will be delivered at least a decade before originally proposed by the authority. this is truly a major victory for san francisco, because it not only puts the downtown extension on the top of the regions of birdies, but it also ensures that our interests are fully protected. it is once in a lifetime opportunity, which i am proud that we were able to seize that opportunity. the second point i want to make with respect to high-speed rail is that even the we have had t

in southern california, utilities are using reverse auction programs to procure solar panels at record low prices and to use the reverse auction mechanism to create a competitive market opportunity for firms to bid costs for their projects to meet a certain set of demand, number of megawatt hours or megawatts that utilities there need to procure from solar projects. the winning bids then have strong penalties for noncompliance such as a critical aspect of reverse auctions to ensure that people are providing accurate bids that they can actually meet, and in the process, the southern california utilities are procuring several hundred megawatts of solar at close or under $90 per megawatt hour which are significantly lower than prices we've seen even in the last quarter. so it's a model that's been used in other markets in india, in china, in brazil, to varying degrees of success depending on how well they're able to police against nonperformance of contracts. but i think it's a model that meets many of the criteria that we outlined. it creates competitive markets, steadily drives down pri
