SDG&E’s Spring 2021 RFO Seeking Disadvantaged Community Green Tariff Shared Renewable Program Power Purchase Agreements
In accordance with Decision (D.)18-06-027, D.18-10-007, and Resolution E-4999, San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) is issuing this Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff (DAC-GT) Request for Offers (RFO or the Solicitation) seeking contracts with facilities that produce Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS)-eligible energy for the purpose of implementing its DAC-GT program.
Pub. Util. Code § 2827.1 required the Commission to develop specific alternatives designed to increase adoption of renewable generation in disadvantaged communities (DACs). The intent of the DAC-GT program is to provide low-income households within DACs, as defined in Schedule DAC-GT, to have an opportunity to access clean, renewable energy.
This solicitation is not requesting bids for feed-in-tariff projects (e.g. Re-MAT, Bio-MAT), BioRAM, EcoChoice, EcoShare, Community Solar Green Tariff or other RPS procurement activities that currently exist or are being contemplated.
Overall, SDG&E’s DAC-GT program is designed to ensure sufficient eligible capacity is available to meet customer demand of up to 18 MW. SDG&E is soliciting DAC-GT projects that are classified as eligible renewable resources. Projects must be located within SDG&E’s service territory and, for purposes of DAC-GT, be in a community identified as among the top 25% of communities statewide, by using CalEnviroScreen 3.0, or in the highest 5% of CalEnviroScreen’s Pollution Burden that do not have a CalEnviroScreen Score. CalEnviroScreen identifies California Communities that are most effected by and vulnerable to sources of pollution.
