The Southern California Public Power Authority, on behalf of its member utilities, is soliciting competitive proposals from qualified respondents for renewable energy projects or products consistent with the California Renewable Energy Resources Program and the California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program, including amendments enacted by passage of California's SB 100.
SCPPA is targeting proposals for renewable resources with commercial operation or delivery starting in 2025 and beyond towards the pathway to 100% fossil-fuel free electricity by 2045 or earlier.
RFP responses may propose: (i) project ownership by SCPPA, (ii) a power purchase agreement with an ownership option or (iii) a power purchase agreement without an ownership option.
Effective February 14, 2025, the Request for Proposals replaces all previous RFPs for renewable energy projects posted by SCPPA.
The RFP will be considered a “Rolling RFP” in which proposals may be submitted any time during the RFP Period.
Responses to this RFP can be received and reviewed at any time before the proposal deadline and are due on or before June 30, 2025.
An energy storage component may be included with a proposed renewable energy project.
Stand-alone energy storage projects are requested to be proposed under SCPPA’s separate Standalone
Energy Storage RFP (located here: http://scppa.org/page/RFPs-ResourceProject).
