Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has submitted a request for approval of a short-term renewable energy contract with Klickitat Public Utility District, involving power generation from the White Creek Wind Project. However, Resolution E-4170 would deny the contract without prejudice due to its conflict with standard terms. The California Energy Commission (CEC) has determined that the delivery structure meets requirements for firmed and shaped energy. The contract represents less than 1% of PG&E’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) target of 20% by 2010.

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) requests approval of a short-term renewable contract with an out-of-state Public Utility District Resolution E-4170 would reject the contract without prejudice Resolution E-4170 May 15, 2008
Resolution E-4170 • Pursuant to PG&E’s proposed Transaction, PG&E would buy Klickitat PUD’s share of the White Creek Wind Project’s renewable generation • Intermittent generation cannot be delivered across control areas, therefore, PG&E would purchase firm system power to match with the RECs from the wind generation • CEC determined that the delivery structure meets its requirements for out-of-state “firmed and shaped” energy deliveries • Bilateral contract conflicted with mandatory Standard Terms and Conditions • The Commission recently reaffirmed that “Applicable Law” should not be modified as the RPS Program derives from California statutes and is paid for by California ratepayers (D.07-11-025) • Annual deliveries, which are priced below the MPR, represent less that 1% of PG&E’s “20% by 2010” RPS target
