ROBUSTNESS OF THE SOLICITATION Sample Clauses

ROBUSTNESS OF THE SOLICITATION. Here are some considerations used to evaluate whether PG&E performed successfully in conducting a robust solicitation: 5 Application 00-00-000, “Application of Pacific Gas and Electric Company To Implement Its Photovoltaic Program”, February 24, 2009 • Was the response large enough for PG&E to reasonably expect to achieve its goal of procuring 1 – 2% of retail load, given likely attrition of proposals between selection and commercial operation, without having to accept a majority of proposals? • Was the response to the solicitation diverse with respect to technologies? • Was the distribution of responses broadly represented by projects that were assessed as moderately or highly viable, or was there an excess of less viable projects? The proposals PG&E received totaled a rather large volume of projected generation and capacity, far in excess of the expected growth in the utility’s retail energy needs in the next several years. The offered volume totaled a substantial fraction of PG&E’s expected retail load, and should provide plenty of opportunity for PG&E to negotiate, contract for, and procure the stated objective for the RFO of 1 to 2% of retail load, taking into account that some of the shortlisted Participants chose exclusive negotiation with other utilities for their projects instead of PG&E, some projects are likely to fall out of negotiation, and some projects that arrive at executed contracts may yet fail to be completed and enter commercial operation. Total GWh/year volume elicited exceeded the stated objective by a factor of dozens. This large ratio of offered volume to targeted procurement volume reflects a remarkably healthy and robust response, suggesting a strong likelihood that the targeted volume can be achieved at some point in time. While the total size of the response to the RFO, measured in number of proposals, MW capacity offered, or GWh/year volume offered, was quite large, the diversity of renewable technologies appears to have diminished somewhat from the 2008 response. Certain technologies were underrepresented when compared to the outreach contact list or to the attendance at the bidders’ conference. Without directly obtaining feedback from developers who did not submit proposals (such as those who submitted Notices of Intent to participate but chose not to) it is hard to know what factors are limiting the response from other technologies.
