Conclusions and Recommendations For the reasons stated herein, Merrimack Energy concludes that the shortlisting decisions by PG&E in the 2007 RPS RFO were reasonable and based on the requirements and evaluation criteria set forth in the Solicitation Protocol. The selection of the shortlist was very inclusive and erred on the side of including more offers in what was a very ample shortlist relative to the procurement target. In the Shortlist Report, Merrimack Energy recommended a number of changes to the RPS procurement process, several of which were adopted by PG&E in the 2008 RPS RFO. Despite recommending certain changes, our assessment is that the PG&E evaluation methodology was appropriate and that it was administered fairly and reasonably. Consistent with suggestions we had made in and after the Shortlist Report, PG&E developed a negotiation prioritization strategy with shortlisted bidders that created an active group of negotiations based on price and viability factors. The Mojave Solar bid was consistently placed in the secondary group and although its proposal changed over time from the proposal initially shortlisted, it remained in the secondary group during the course of contract negotiations. While the project sponsor is a very viable and experienced developer of solar thermal projects and is capable of developing the project effectively, there are concerns associated with the timing of the project that adds risk to the ultimate success of the project. PG&E has done an effective job in managing these risks through contract provisions in both the original contract and the amended and restated agreement. The details of the PPA and the amended and restated agreement are addressed in the Confidential Appendix to this report. While the positive attributes of the project should be balanced against the negative attributes in assessing whether or not the amended and restated agreement should be approved, the IE has concerns about project value for the customers. In addition to the high project cost and low market value, the project contains a number of challenges to meet its proposed construction start date primarily associated with transmission interconnection and access. While PG&E has negotiated provisions in the Amended and Restated contract that generally protects the interests of consumers, should the firm interconnection be delayed longer than anticipated, PG&E customers may be exposed to higher RA costs to back-up the project should the cost of capacity in the market exceed the price caps established in the contract. In conclusion, the IE has reservations about the contract based on project value including the levelized net market value calculations relative to project benchmarks from other recent solicitations.
