SDG&E’s 2016 RFO Seeking ECR Power Purchase Agreements

In accordance with Decision (D.)16-05-006 and D.15-01-051(together the Green Tariff Shared Renewables decision) issued by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC or Commission), San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) is issuing this Enhanced Community Renewables (ECR) 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 ECR program. 

The Green Tariff Shared Renewables (GTSR) Decision requires SDG&E to implement two programs:  (1) a Green Tariff (GT) program, allowing customers to choose a higher percentage of renewable generation than they already get from SDG&E; and (2) an ECR program, allowing customers to participate in community-based projects.  These programs are intended to:  1) make clean, renewable energy available to bundled utility customers, whether or not they own a home and/or can afford a significant capital investment; (2) increase the overall volume of renewable energy in the San Diego area; and (3) increase options for institutional, commercial and residential customers to meet their renewable energy goals.

Overall, SDG&E’s GTSR program is designed to ensure sufficient eligible capacity is available to meet customer demand of up to 59 MW, with 10 MW of the total program capacity being set aside for projects located in designated Environmental Justice areas. SDG&E will hold one ECR auction in 2016 and two ECR auctions per year in 2017 and 2018, or until all available GT and ECR capacity is reserved subject to customer participation in these programs.  SDG&E will offer 20MW of capacity at each solicitation, up to the total remaining unsubscribed capacity in SDG&E’s program. 

In this solicitation, SDG&E is seeking PPAs for the ECR program only.  This solicitation is not requesting bids for feed-in-tariff projects (e.g. Re-MAT, Bio-MAT), GT projects, BioRAM or other RPS procurement activities that currently exist or are being contemplated.
