About this file

This document is an addendum to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for a Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The addendum provides answers to technical questions related to the RFP, including the requirement for the completion of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process before a contract can be executed, the submission process requiring both an electronic copy on a flash drive and a hard copy, and DWR's openness to receiving offers for energy-only renewable resources. The RFP seeks renewable energy and capacity, including attributes used to qualify for Resource Adequacy, and all associated Environmental Attributes, including Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), from a solar PV or wind facility through a PPA. The RFP is applicable to the jurisdictions of Sacramento County and the City of Sacramento.

The addendum clarifies that DWR is not open to being the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) scheduling coordinator for the proposed facility. It also provides information on the availability of Attachments 8-11 in Excel format and that DWR is not open to email or secured online submission, with the submission required to be an electronic copy on a flash drive and a hard copy delivered to the specified address by the due date and time.
