RFI Overview

4

Overview

• PG&E is conducting a “request for information” for energy storage

technologies and projects

• PG&E wants to learn about the different energy storage technologies,

operating characteristics, stage of development, and costs.

• The CPUC’s Long Term Procurement Plan proceeding could result in a

determination of future system needs for flexible capacity. In anticipation of

a future all-source RFO, PG&E aims to use the RFI to learn about current

and future energy storage technologies that could bid into the future RFO.

• This RFI will help PG&E to understand and value the relevant attributes of

storage technologies that could participate in future RFOs.

• This RFI seeks information only; any commercial transactions for energy

storage products will be conducted outside of the RFI.

Eligibility

• Energy Storage facilities

• Both existing and new facilities

• Information on existing and new technologies

• Wholesale facilities that can be connected to the transmission or

distribution system

– Delivery Point must be within the CAISO-controlled transmission grid

• Facilities must be dispatchable and must be able to be scheduled by both

Evaluation Methodology

8

Valuation

• Net Market Value =

Energy and Ancillary Services Revenues

plus (flexible and non-flexible) Capacity Value

minus Fixed and variable cost

• The valuation will also consider:

- Project location / mobility

- More efficient generation for CCs

- Distribution deferral benefits

- Mitigation of Over-gen situations.

Variable O&M costs are costs related to how the

facil ity is operating. This would include: repairs for

forced outages, consumables (non-fuel products),

water supply, etc. It does not include yearly

maintenance or overhauls.

Fixed O&M costs are the costs that occur regardless of how much

the facil ity operates. These costs generally include: staffing,

overhead and equipment, regulatory fi l ings, and miscellaneous

direct costs. The cost can also include the cost of annual

maintenance that is not dependent on how the facil ity was

operating.

Exclude major overhauls.
