OPINION APPROVING SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND
ASSOCIATED POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND
RESOURCE ADEQUACY CONFIRMATION
This decision grants the request of Southern California Edison Company (SCE) as follows:
1. A contingent settlement agreement between SCE, Calpine Energy Services, LP (CES) and Geysers Power Company, LLC (Geysers) is approved.
2. An associated renewables portfolio standard (RPS) power purchase agreement (PPA) is approved. The contract will provide SCE with eligible renewable energy from the existing Geysers northern California geothermal facility for a term of 10 years.
3. An associated resource adequacy (RA) confirmation for 2009 through 2011 is approved. RA benefits are provided from Calpine's Pastoria Energy Facility as opposed to the Geysers facility. In addition to satisfying system RA needs during this period, this transaction may also count toward meeting any contemplated Big Creek/Ventura local RA requirement, all at a competitive price and terms.
