AI overview
San Diego Community Power (SDCP) is seeking to acquire energy, capacity and environmental attributes for up to 50 MW from one or more new Clean Firm generation projects that meet procurement obligations set forth in California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Decision 21-06-35 (D-21-06-035), the Decision Requiring Procurement to Address Mid-term Reliability (2023-2026). SDCP seeks new generation projects that meet D-21-06-035 requirements for long lead time Clean Firm Resources. Projects must have no on-site emissions or be eligible under California's Renewables Portfolio Standard program, have at least an 80 percent capacity factor, not be weather dependent or subject to use limitations, and be a generating asset (not a storage project). Projects should be online by June 1, 2026 (SDCP will also consider projects online after June 1, 2026 but before January 1, 2028). Contract delivery terms shall be a minimum of ten years and a maximum of 25 years. All projects must be incremental to the CPUC's baseline list, meet minimum CPUC and CAISO requirements for participation in the resource adequacy program, and must be able to participate in CAISO electricity markets. Projects not directly interconnected to the CAISO must have the ability to provide energy and resource adequacy as a dynamic transfer.
