This is an Emergency FEMA Technical Assistance document related to the City of Pasadena's Department of Water and Power Request for Proposals for distributed generation renewable energy facilities. The RFP seeks one or more renewable energy projects larger than 200kW located within PWP service territory that interconnect directly to PWP's electric distribution grid. Projects must comply with California Renewable Energy Resources Program (PUC 25740 et seq.) and California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program (PUC 399.11 et seq.) requirements. PWP primarily seeks projects with commercial operation or delivery start dates on or before December 31, 2028, with a minimum delivery term of 10 years, though proposals with later delivery dates or alternative terms will be considered. The RFP supports Pasadena's commitment under Resolution No. 9977 to source 100% of the city's electricity from carbon-free resources by the end of 2030, exceeding state mandates and voluntary targets established by other utilities and corporations.

The document addresses funding and compliance requirements necessary to meet both Pasadena's 100% carbon-free electricity goal and PWP's obligations under California's Renewables Portfolio Standard as outlined in PUC 399.30. Projects must generate carbon-free renewable energy that qualifies under state renewable energy programs to support the city's climate emergency declaration and long-term sustainability objectives. Specific pricing terms, set-asides, response deadlines, site visit schedules, and bidder's meeting details are not detailed in this technical assistance summary document.
