Eligibility

• New PV electric generating systems only

• PV projects sized in the 1 to 20 MW range. Ground-mount and rooftop systems are both eligible

• Aggregation of facilities to achieve the 1 MW minimum threshold allowed if each facility is at least 500 kW, is owned by a single Participant, and all facilities interconnect within a single PNode1

• Located within PG&E’s electric service territory. Must connect directly to PG&E’s transmission or distribution system

• Attest to site control

• Pre time-of-delivery adjusted contract price no greater than $246/MWh2

• A complete interconnection application filed by the time of offer submission

• Proof that a request for full capacity deliverability status has been made

• May not participate in the California Solar Initiative Program or Net Energy Metering tariff

• Developer must have previously completed or begun construction of a solar project that is at least 500 kW

1 The CAISO Tariff defines Pricing Node (“PNode”) as “[a] single network Node or subset of network Nodes where a physical injection or withdrawal is

modeled and for which a Locational Marginal Price is calculated and used for financial settlements.” 2 Note that all three PPAs resulting from the 2011 PV PPA RFO have a pre-TOD price that is lower than the Market Price Referent adopted in 2009 for year

2013 ($108.98/MWh)

Resource Adequacy & Full Capacity Deliverability

• Participant must submit or have submitted its project for study for full capacity deliverability status through all phases of the interconnection study process.

• If Participant is precluded by CAISO rules from applying for full capacity deliverability for the Project, Participant must agree to apply for the annual deliverability study option with the CAISO each year during the delivery term.

• If Participant has pursued but cannot attain full capacity deliverability on commercially reasonable terms, then it must agree to apply for the annual deliverability study option with the CAISO each year of the delivery term.

• Participant’s Offer price should reflect all costs associated with pursuing full capacity deliverability, if applicable.

Interconnection Screening

• The PV PPAs require projects to achieve commercial operation within 18

months following CPUC approval

• A lesson learned from the 2011 RFO is that many projects cannot complete

the interconnection process within this timeframe

• For the 2012 PV PPA RFO PG&E will screen offers to assess each project’s

interconnection status, and the likelihood that the interconnection process

will be completed within the 18 month deadline

• Offers from sellers whose projects clearly cannot complete the

interconnection process within the 18 month deadline will be removed

from further consideration

• See Appendix G of the RFO Protocol for further information and examples

of the screening process

Filling the 50 MW Solicitation

• 2012 RFO seeks PPAs for a total of 50 MW

• If the RFO results in the execution of less than 50 MW of PPAs, the remaining

MW will be added to the 2013 solicitation

• If the most attractive offers result in more than 50 MW, there are three methods

for getting within the 50 MW limit:

1: Request that the last offer to be

added reduce its size while holding

its $/MWh price. This option is

requested in the Offer Form; or

2: Drop the last offer, and pick the next

most attractive small offer that

results in a total of 50 MW or less; or

3: Drop the last offer, and add the

shortfall to the 2013 RFO

The preferred approach will depend on the

offers received.

Most Attractive Offers

• 20 year delivery terms

• Contracts were developed collaboratively with representatives of the solar community and approved by the CPUC

• Terms and conditions are non-negotiable. No modifications will be allowed

• Project Development Security is required to ensure seller completes its project by the Guaranteed Commercial Operation Date:

– 1 – <3 MW: $20/kW upon CPUC approval

– 3 – 20 MW: $15/kW upon contract execution. Then upon CPUC approval stepping up to:

• $20/kW for projects < 10 MW

• $35/kW for projects 10 MW or greater

• Delivery Term Security is required in the 3 – 20 MW PPA to ensure the seller meets its obligations throughout the 20 year Delivery Term:

Power Purchase Agreements – Offer Specifics

• Contract terms based on seller’s offer:

– Price

– Guaranteed Commercial Operation Date (there are a few excused delays)

– Contract Capacity (MW)

– Contract Quantity (GWh)

• Guaranteed Energy Production is set at 160% of annual Contract Quantity over a 2

year period (3 – 20 MW PPA only)

• Energy deliveries:

– Surplus deliveries – We will pay for energy deliveries up to 120% of the

Contract Quantity in a given year

– Delivery shortfalls – You will be held to the Guaranteed Energy Production

which is based on the Contract Quantity, so provide a realistic estimate of

Contract Quantity

Simplified evaluation methodology to streamline the process

• Pricing:

– Price must be a single value in $/MWh which will remain constant for the contract term. Escalating prices will not be allowed

– Best and final price must be submitted with the offer. No price refresh

• Supplier diversity: We will take into account the Participant’s status as a Diverse Business Enterprise (DBE) and/or an intent or policy of subcontracting with DBEs.

• Local Capacity Requirements: If needed as a tie-breaker when selecting Offers, we will favor projects that will be located in CAISO-identified local capacity requirement (“LCR”) areas

We will select more than 50 MW of offers for consideration, in case some selected

offers don’t make it to the finish line
