3. Procurement Planning Proceeding Issues

The general issues for the 2012 procurement planning cycle are as follows:

(1) Identify CPUC-jurisdictional needs for new resources to meet local or system resource adequacy (RA), renewable integration, or other requirements and to consider authorization of IOU procurement to meet that need. This includes issues related to long-term renewable planning and need for replacement generation infrastructure to eliminate reliance on power plants using OTC.

(2) Update, and review individual IOU bundled procurement plans consistent with § 454.5.

(3) Develop or refine procurement rules that were not resolved in R.10-06-005, and consider other emerging procurement policy topics.
