Wholesale Electric Power Procurement

Welcome to PG&E's Wholesale Electric Power Procurement website. To meet customer load, PG&E purchases wholesale electric energy and capacity from generators and suppliers. PG&E periodically conducts Solicitations / Requests for Offers (RFO) for conventional and renewable electricity. Information about PG&E's Wholesale Electric Power Procurement and RFOs will be posted on this website. When PG&E conducts a specific Solicitation / RFO to purchase new energy and/or capacity, the RFO will be announced via e-mail to potential bidders and posted below.

Renewable Feed-in Tariffs

On February 14, 2008, the Commission approved Resolution E-4137 (PDF, 215 KB) 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 Renewable 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.

Supplier Diversity

It is the policy of PG&E that Women, Minority, and Disabled Veteran-owned Business Enterprises (“WMDVBEs or collectively DBEs”) shall have the opportunity to participate in the performance of Agreements resulting from wholesale electric power procurement solicitations. We encourage supplier relationships with DBEs that can provide competitive prices and services.

  • Women and Minority Business Enterprises (WMBEs)
    To participate as a WMBE, you must be certified by the CPUC WMBE Clearinghouse (Asian Inc.) (Call (800) 359-7998 for an application). The certificate application is free, and certification is valid for three years. The clearinghouse also accepts WMBE verification from comparable agencies in other states. Once verified, your firm is included in a database accessed by all participating California utilities. For more information on the state-wide supplier diversity program, including a description of the program and a list of current certified suppliers, visit the California Public Utilities Commission website.
  • Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBEs)
    DVBE applicants should contact the Office of Small Business Certification and Resources (OSBCR) for more information at (916) 375-4940. Disabled veterans who are California residents and whose principal office is in California are eligible to participate. The certification application is free and can be obtained through the OSBCR website. Certified DVBEs are posted in a database maintained by the OSBCR and available to all participating California utilities and state agencies.

Our contract administrator can answer questions and assist you with your WMBE or DVBE certificate applications. General information on Pacific Gas and Electric Company's corporate-wide WMDVBE purchasing and contracting programs is available on our Supplier Diversity page.

The attached calendar contains PG&E's upcoming PRG meeting dates, times, and topics, to the extent that they have been scheduled.
