Solicitation Overview
27
RFO Design (1/4)
• Product– PG&E is purchasing distribution capacity only
No RA, energy, ancillary services, RECs, other attributes Delivery June-September, 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
– PG&E is looking for a 7 year Delivery Term – Initial Delivery Date
• Corcoran: 6/1/2022• Project size
– Offers are restricted by project size described in RFO Solicitation Protocol– Corcoran:
– Corcoran 1112: minimum need is 2.3 MW, but participants may submit offers for 1.1 MW, 2.3 MW, 3.4 MW or 4.4 MW.
– Corcoran 1116: participants may submit offers for 1.1 MW, or 2.1 MW.– Corcoran 1118: participants may submit offers for 1.1 MW, or 2.1 MW.
– PG&E offer form asks Participants to indicate whether offer sizes are flexible at the offered price
– Offers must be the same size for all the delivery hours and for the length of the delivery term
28
RFO Design (2/4)
• Offers– There are no limits on the number of offers Participants may submit. – To the extent that a Participant is able to, each Participant is encouraged to submit at least
one Offer that addresses the entire combined need at Corcoran.
• Project eligibility– DERs: Distributed generation, energy storage, energy efficiency, demand response,
electric vehicles– Participants may be either in-front-of-the-meter or behind-the-meter– Participants may offer one resource or an aggregation
29
RFO Design (3/4)
• Measurement and verification– Participants must submit a measurement and verification plan with their offers– Behind the meter Projects using a baseline methodology may require a customized approach
• Interconnection – Project must connect to specified lines/feeders– No specific interconnection milestone required, but Participants must demonstrate they can
meet the online date
• Double payments/double counting– Projects must be fully or partially incremental to PG&E’s programs, tariffs, and solicitations– Participants must submit Appendix B Section 5 of the RFO materials to demonstrate how their
Offer is incremental– Energy efficiency Participants may choose to have their Offer evaluated for incrementality on a
project-specific basis or having their Offer evaluated based on a pre-specified overlap factor of 20%
30
RFO Design (4/4)
Resources can be: Examples
Fully Incremental Not already sourced through another program, tariff, solicitation
• Add-on’s to existing DERs, such as the addition of dispatchable storage to an existing PV resource
• New programs;• EE Technology not included in Portfolio
Partially Incremental
Partially sourced through another program, tariff, solicitation
Enhanced uptake of DER over base
Not Incremental Wholly sourced through another program, tariff, solicitation
Rooftop PV compensated under NEM without enhancement;Existing DG or ES compensated under SGIP without enhancement;EE or DR portfolio resources without enhancement
Participants must demonstrate how Projects are incremental:
31
Technology Neutral Pro Forma (TNPF) Overview
32
Transaction
• Product: Distribution Services in accordance with Operating Parameters− Decrease load or increase generation during specified hours− Sellers are free to monetize other revenue streams − Seller is free to operate the resource how it wants outside of the Delivery Days
• Seller commits to provide Product at Contract Quantities− Seller may sell excess amount of Product from Project to third parties− Seller may sell other attributes of the Project to third parties
• Sellers will be instructed on whether they are required to provide distribution capacity by 8 am day-ahead
– Project may be dispatched at the Buyer’s discretion up to the Contract Capacity – Seller will provide PG&E with real-time visibility into DER performance– Sellers are required to install a communications system and equipment for PG&E to be
able to remotely monitor Project status on an aggregate and individual unit basis
33
Payment and Delivered Energy
• Compensation:– Fixed price ($/MW-month)– Variable price ($/MWh) for dispatchable resources when called upon to provide
Distribution Services• Fixed compensation is dependent on delivery of services when called:
Contract Capacity * Contract Price * Ratio Delivered Services when called * Delivered Services Adjustment
Delivered Services Delivered services adjustment≥0.90 and ≤ 1.00 1.0≥0.80 and < 0.90 0.5≥0.75 and < 0.80 0< 0.75 Delivered Services Adjustment –
.75(Seller will pay PG&E)
34
Project Site and Customers
• Sellers are solely responsible for acquiring Customers
• Sellers may remove or replace Sites/Customers, provided that changes are in accordance with safety provisions
• Seller must provide PG&E a list of Customers and satisfy incrementality criteria prior to Initial Delivery Date
– Changes to initial Customer list must continue to satisfy incrementality criteria
• Seller’s marketing materials that reference PG&E are subject to written approval by PG&E
• Seller is responsible for all marketing activities, provided that PG&E may negotiate specified type of assistance
35
Performance Assurance
Performance Assurance• “Project Development Security” is due to PG&E within five (5) business days following
CPUC approval of the agreement and must be in the form of a letter of credit or cash and in the following amounts:
– $40/kW for all new resources– $25/kW for existing resources
• “Delivery Term Security” is due to PG&E before the Initial Delivery Date and will be held by PG&E throughout the delivery term
– $40/kW– Seller may apply Project Development Security toward the Delivery Term Security
Damage Payment/Termination Payment • In an event of default, defaulting party will owe non-defaulting party an amount
equal to the performance assurance
36
Conditions Precedent
• If CPUC Approval has not occurred on or before 180 days from the date on which PG&E files the agreement with the CPUC, then either party may terminate the agreement
• Initial Delivery Date shall not occur until Seller: – Has constructed the Project and provided certification from an independent
engineer that Project is commercially operable and constructed in accordance with the safety requirements
– Has passed an initial Performance Test demonstrating that the Project is capable of delivering Distribution Service
– Has provided PG&E with a list of Sites and Customers and PG&E has verified that such Sites/Customers are incremental
– Has provided Delivery Term Security
37
Events of Default and Early Termination
Events of Defaults• Failure to meet two Critical Milestones• Failure to meet Initial Delivery Date• Monthly Distribution Services Factor averages less than 75% for any calendar
year• Results of Performance Test shows that the Project provides less than 85% of
Contract Capacity
Early Termination• Seller may terminate contract early if interconnection study results are not
received or if they indicate interconnection costs are beyond a prespecified threshold.
• Early termination must be exercised within 120 days after execution. • Seller subject to reduced damage payment.
38
Evaluation Methodology
39
Evaluation Criteria: Least Cost, Best Fit
• Quantitative Factors– Benefits (Distribution Deferral Value)– Fixed and Variable Costs
– Contract payments– Administrative costs
• Qualitative Factors– Project Viability
– Interconnection– Site Control Assessment– Developer Experience– Technology Viability
– Ability to provide full need– Renewable vs. non-renewable– Technology, Counterparty Concentration– Supply Chain Responsibility– Safety
40
