PG&Es New Hybrid PV Program

5-Year, 500-MW Program starting in late 2010/early 2011 1 to 20 MW photovoltaic generation installations in northern and

central California

Up to 50 MW per year utility-owned generation

Up to 50 MW per year of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)with renewable resource developers

Projects developed and owned by PG&E would be built on land

near its substations to minimize the cost and delays of

interconnecting to the power grid

The terms of the PPAs will be pre-approved by the CPUC, avoiding

the need for negotiations and legal fees. Prices would be based

on a competitive solicitation.

Projects will have 18 months to go into operation.

Distributed Solar Generation Growing Rapidly

~40% of US solar PV interconnections are in PG&Es service territory

More than 43,000 PG&E customers have solar generation onsite.
