Common use of IMPERIAL VALLEY OFFERS Clause in Contracts

IMPERIAL VALLEY OFFERS. In the 2009 RPS RFO, PG&E received several proposals for renewable generation proposed to be sited in the Imperial Valley. The PG&E team generally applied the same steps and processes to evaluate these proposals as it did with others. One exception is that the utility did not use its stated preference for projects interconnecting to the grid within PG&E’s service territory to reject or disfavor any Imperial Valley proposals, as it did with some proposals with other proposed points of interconnection. Xxxxxx believes that the inclusion of Imperial Valley proposals on the final short list represents a fair and reasonable selection made by PG&E. The utility did not unfairly exert undue preference based on Imperial Valley location to select any proposal for the final short list, nor did it reject any Imperial Valley proposal that fully met the criteria applied to screen proposals, the same criteria used in other regions.
