AI Overview

SDG&E's fourth Request for Offers (RFO) in support of its Renewable Auction Mechanism (RAM) seeking offers from eligible energy generators. The RFO solicits offers for bundled renewable energy deliveries from eligible renewable resources. SDG&E intends to procure 47 MW during this solicitation pursuant to 10, 15, and 20-year RAM Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Independent Power Producers. The RAM program is designed to procure a total of 155 MW over five solicitations. Previous solicitations (November 2011, May 2012, and November 2012) resulted in procurement of approximately 85 MW, leaving approximately 70 MW to procure. The RAM was approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in Decision (D.) 10-12-048 and modified by Resolution E-4414, Resolution E-4489, Resolution E-4546, and Resolution E-4582. The program supplements the State's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) program, complements the California Solar Initiative (CSI) program, promotes small-scale renewable development, and may present local employment potential in California. Winning Respondents shall enter into a non-negotiable PPA for bundled renewable energy deliveries. SDG&E is not requesting bids for renewable energy credits, feed-in-tariff projects, or other RPS procurement activities.
