Qualitative Factors. Business operations that represent an appropriate spread of risk and “fit” within a mutual framework. • Legal entities whose energy operations and investments represent carried interests or the equivalent will generally not be considered eligible. • Prospective members conducting joint venture operations with other Everen members and, in particular, acting in the role of operator of such joint ventures will, in general, be viewed favorably. • Demonstrated track record of maintaining world-class health, environment and safety standards.

Qualitative Factors. PG&E considered qualitative factors as required by D.00-00-000 and D.00-00-000 when evaluating the PPA, including benefits to low-income or minority communities, environmental stewardship, local reliability, and resource diversity benefits. Further details are provided in Confidential Appendix A, including the results of the project viability assessment.
Qualitative Factors. PG&E considered qualitative factors as required by D.00-00-000 and D.00-00-000 when evaluating the PPA, including benefits to low income or minority communities, environmental stewardship, local reliability, and resource diversity benefits. During construction of the Project, approximately 35 people will be employed for between four and eight months. Local construction and suppliers will be used to the extent possible. Additionally, after construction, two to three new permanent jobs will be required for turbine operation and maintenance.
Qualitative Factors. PG&E considered qualitative factors as required by D.00-00-000 and D.00-00-000 when evaluating the PPA, including benefits to low-income or minority communities, environmental stewardship, local reliability, and resource diversity benefits. The Project will employ approximately 200 employees during construction of the Project, and local labor will be utilized to the greatest extent possible. During commercial operation, one to two full-time employees will be permanently employed. Further details about qualitative factors are provided in Confidential Appendix A, including the results of the Project Viability Assessment.
Qualitative Factors. PG&E considered qualitative factors as required by D.00-00-000 and D.00-00-000 when evaluating the PPA, including benefits to low-income or minority communities, environmental stewardship, resource diversity benefits, and the viability of the Seller and Project. The Project is located in Xxxxx County which reported an unemployment rate of 12.4 percent in May 2011 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). During construction of the Project, up to 175 people will be employed and approximately 5 full-time staff positions will be created for the operational of the Project. PG&E also considered the success of other photovoltaic projects with Xxxxxx. The Sempra team has successfully completed two projects, El Dorado and Copper Mountain, which are under contract and delivering renewable power to PG&E. In addition to the qualitative factors, the Project has a reasonable price and competitive market value. Further details are provided in Confidential Appendix A, including the results of the project viability assessment.
Qualitative Factors. PG&E also considered certain qualitative factors as required by D.00-00-000 when evaluating the PPA. As noted above, approval of the PPA will add to the diversity of solar technologies in PG&E’s renewable portfolio and could convey significant customer benefits. The proposed project would not contribute to local reliability or possess any of the qualitative factors identified for special consideration by D.04- 07-029.
Qualitative Factors. PG&E considered qualitative factors as required by D.00-00-000 and D.00-00-000 when evaluating the Amended and Restated PPA, including developer experience, existing facility status, resource availability, environmental stewardship, and resource diversity. The Project provides local resource adequacy in the North Coast/North Bay region.
Qualitative Factors. PG&E considered qualitative factors, including environmental factors, when evaluating the Project, as required by D.00-00-000 and D.00-00-000. The Project uses only a nominal amount of water due to its dry-cooling process, instead of the much greater amounts generally required in a wet-cooling process. The Project is located on private, previously disturbed land. Additionally, because of the thermal capacity of Rice Solar’s CSP design, the Project uses no fossil fuel once construction is completed and operation begins (i.e., there is no fossil fuel used for co-firing or supplemental heating).
Qualitative Factors. In addition to the financial factors above the agreement includes certain qualitative factors. These include:
