AI Overview

San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) is issuing a Green Tariff Shared Renewables (GTSR) Program joint Request for Offers (RFO) seeking contracts with facilities that produce Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS)-eligible energy for the purpose of implementing its Enhanced Community Renewables and Green Tariff programs. The GTSR Program includes two components: (1) a Green Tariff (GT) program (EcoChoice), allowing customers to choose a higher percentage of renewable generation than they already get from SDG&E; and (2) an Enhanced Community Renewables (EcoShare), allowing customers to participate in community-based projects. The programs are intended to: (1) make clean, renewable energy available to bundled utility customers, whether 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. 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 seek offers for up to 20 MW of capacity for either its EcoShare or EcoChoice programs. Distributed Energy Resource Providers (DERP) participating in the EcoShare program can aggregate resources to meet the CAISO 0.5 MW minimum size requirement to bid into the market. Offers consisting of DERP resources are eligible to bid into this solicitation provided they meet the other requirements outlined in the EcoShare solicitation document. This solicitation is not requesting bids for feed-in-tariff projects (e.g. Re-MAT, Bio-MAT), BioRAM, or other RAM or RPS procurement activities that currently exist or are being contemplated.
