Utility Dive: Rather than replacing the facility with a new fossil-fuel generator, PG&E has gotten approval to turn to local clean energy. OCEI resources could include energy storage, energy efficiency and electric-system upgrades to ensure transmission grid reliability in Oakland. PG&E says it will open a request-for-offers process this spring, and depending on the exact resource mix, expects the solicitation is expected to result in 20 MW to 45 MW of clean energy resources.
Following CAISO's approval, PG&E said it will now begin to upgrade existing substations and develop new clean-energy resources in Oakland. And, the utility said it will continue to collaborate with community choice aggregator East Bay Community Energy "to determine and meet the clean-energy and reliability needs of local customers."
