Community sponsors can receive up to 25% of the project's generation capacity. The solicitation seeks eligible renewable resources (solar projects) located within SDG&E's service territory within disadvantaged communities. Overall, the program is designed to ensure sufficient eligible capacity is available to meet customer demand of up to 5 MW. This RFO is issued pursuant to California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Decisions D.18-06-027, D.18-10-007, and Resolution E-4999.
