IE ACTIVITIES. To fulfill the role of evaluating the proposed DG Fairhaven contract amendment, several tasks were undertaken. Xxxxxx Seco had performed several of these tasks within its work scope of serving as IE for PG&E’s 2008 and 2009 RPS competitive solicitations; these prior activities were directly relevant to the evaluation of the DG Fairhaven contract amendment. 2 The contract amendment in question is arguably not an amendment to an existing RPS contract in form but rather an amendment to a Standard Offer Qualifying Facilities contract. 3 CPUC Decision 06-05-039, May 25, 2006, “Opinion Conditionally Approving Procurement Plans for 2006 RPS Solicitations, Addressing XXX Benchmarking Methodology”, page 46. • Reviewed the 2009 RPS RFO Solicitation Protocol and its various attachments including the Forms of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and PG&E’s detailed description of its LCBF bid evaluation and selection process and criteria. • Examined the utility’s nonpublic protocols detailing how PG&E evaluates proposed contracts against various criteria, including market valuation, portfolio fit, transmission adders, credit, project viability, and RPS goals. • Interviewed members of PG&E’s evaluation committee and sub-committees regarding the process, data inputs and parameters, background industry and utility information, quantitative models, and other considerations taken into account in evaluating contracts against non-quantitative criteria and in performing market valuation of contracts. • Reviewed in detail various data inputs and parameters used in PG&E’s LCBF market valuation methodology. • Spot-checked contract-specific data inputs to PG&E’s valuation model. • Spot-checked the assignment of individual projects to transmission clusters or to local zones within the system controlled by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO). • Built an independent valuation model and using it to value proposed contracts.

Upon notification of the failure of its bid, one of the participants requested feedback about its proposal by e-mail, but to Xxxxxx’x knowledge PG&E did not respond to that request. PG&E’s highly streamlined approach to managing this informal request for bids differed markedly from the utility’s practices with formal solicitations to purchase renewable energy or other products.
