Procurement Review Group

In Decision 07-12-05 2, the California Public Utilities Commission instructed the California Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) to establish web-based calendars that provide information on Procurement Review Group (PRG) meetings and planned solicitation activities. The attached calendar contains PG&E's upcoming PRG meeting dates, times, and topics, to the extent that they have been scheduled. For PG&E’s previous 2008 PRG meetings, the calendar links into specific meeting agendas and participants. This calendar will contain only public information, will extend through the next fiscal quarter, and will be updated on a monthly basis.

Standard Contracts for Purchase (Feed-in Tariffs)

On February 14, 2008, the Commission approved Resolution E-4137 pertaining to PG&E’s tariffs and standard contracts for both its Section 399.20 PPA (Public Water and Wastewater) Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and the Small Renewable Generator PPA.

The Standard Contracts for Purchase (Feed-in Tariffs) of eligible renewable generation offer both a full buy/sell option and an excess sale option to customers, which means PG&E will purchase all of the electricity their facility generates, or they can choose to use some of the electricity for their own needs and PG&E will purchase only the excess.
