Note - Version (v.) 3 of the Offer Form has two updates: (1) we updated the Guernsey PV Site to the Gates PV Site on the "Project Information" tab for PSA offers at PG&E-owned PV sites; and (2) we modified the "Compensation" tab to allow for negative escalation rates (cells F8 and F9). If you are not submitting a PSA offer for PG&E-owned PV sites, and do not have a negative escalation rate for your pricing, then you may continue to use Offer Form v.2.1.

PG&E encourages potential Participants to enter the applicable electric interconnection process (transmission or distribution) as soon as practicable.

• Wholesale Electric Interconnection
• Map - PG&E has developed an interactive, Google-based map of its service territory. The map is a tool to help renewable energy developers identify potential project sites. It not a guarantee that generators can interconnect at any particular time and place.

For questions related to electric interconnection, email wholesalegen@pge.com.

The Generator Interconnection Procedure pursuant to the WDT and CAISO Tariff consists of three application processes: (1) The “Fast Track Procedure for generators 5 MW (2 MW on 12kV, 3MW on 21kV, and 5MW on higher voltages) in size that pass the “Fast Track Screens," (2) the Independent Study Process for all generators that are electrically independent from another generator or cluster of generators, and (3) the Cluster Study Process for interconnection requests that do not qualify for the Fast Track Process or the Independent Study Process.

Under the CAISO Tariff and PG&E WDT Generator Interconnection Procedures, all interconnection requests under the Independent Study Process or Cluster Process may request interconnection as a “full capacity” resource. Please refer to PG&E’s or CAISO’s website for more details.

Any application for interconnection to PG&E can be submitted through an online form available at PG&E's Customer Connections Online page.  Visit Customer Connections Online.
