  • D. 22-02-004 revises Portfolio supply and demand assessment
  • Project development and status updates should be more detailed
  • Retail sellers should discuss the potential impact of compliance delays
  • Retail sellers should describe how minimizing compliance risk and project delays informs their long-term procurement planning decisions
  • Retail sellers' portfolio assessments shall include long-term and short-term contracts through 2032 and RPS-eligible procurement that has or will occur outside the program
  • Retail sellers should describe contract terms intended to reduce curtailment
  • Retail sellers should update their draft RPS plans to align with their IRPs

The updated templates are available on the CPUC RPS Utility Scale Request for Offer ("RFO") Website.
