
Originally 20% by 2017, then amended in 2006 to 20%
by 2010, followed in 2011 by an increase to 33% by 2020
Targets to be met through annual renewable RFOs

New Constraint on Planning Process
Need for renewable integration has
created demand for flexible generation
 Planning reserve margin concept is
evolving
 Additional flexibility requirements may
pre-empt planning reserve margin
 Risk is shifting from a generation outage
risk to a grid outage risk

Transmission development not a major issue prior
to the energy crisis; now part of daily dialogue
2003 Energy Action Plan identifies upgrading and
expanding transmission and distribution
infrastructure as one of its critical actions
SB 1565 in 2004 requires CEC to adopt a Strategic
Transmission Investment Plan in its biennial IEPR
Several new planning schemes have sprung up in
last decade: RETI, Federal transmission corridors,

Adjusting to The New Market Realities
(a.k.a. Dealing with Collateral Damage)
To meet aggressive RPS targets,
regulators expand range of procurement
options
 Greater concerns about rates increases
focus on renewable cost containment
 Offtakers expect option to order economic
curtail generation from new renewables
 Starting to see impacts of GHG legislation
in forward prices

20
Policymakers Pursue Range of
Renewable Projects to Meet RPS
Game is no longer only about large project
solicitations
 New market options create opportunities
for renewable projects of all sizes

September
2011 the “implied” non-module costs paid by PV system owners – which
30
may
include such items as inverters, mounting hardware, labor, permitting and fees, shipping, overhead,
taxes, and installer profit. Implied non-module costs are calculated simply as the difference
between the average total installed cost and the wholesale module price index in the same year;
not attempted a comprehensive survey, NREL40, for example, specifies an installed cost of $3.8/W
for prototypical fixed-tilt crystalline systems, $4.1/W for fixed-tilt thin-film systems, and $4.4/W
for single-axis crystalline systems, all at an assumed size of 188 MW and installed in the second
half of 2010. SEIA/GTM41 cite an average cost of $3.9/W for utility-sector systems of unspecified
size and configuration and installed in the first quarter of 2011. Finally, RW Beck42 estimates the
average cost of a fixed-tilt crystalline utility PV system installed in late 2010 at $3.8/W for a 188
MW system and $4.2/W for a 10 MW system.

Notes: The figure includes a number of relatively small wholesale distributed PV projects as well as several “one-off”
projects. In addition, the reported installed cost of projects completed in any given year may reflect module and other
component pricing at the time of project contracting, which may have occurred one or two years prior to installation.
For these reasons and others (see Text Box 1), the data may not provide an accurate depiction of the current cost of
typical utility PV projects and may not correspond to recent cost benchmarks for utility PV.
