The California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has proposed that San Diego Gas & Electric increase its renewable energy procurements to make up for a 102 MW generation shortfall, according to SNL.
The PUC said SDG&E was required to procure 164.7 MW to meet its most recent targets in the state's renewable auction mechanism (RAM), but only agreed to procure 62.7 MW.
SDG&E said that only one of the bids it received in the auction was cost competitive and that it already has enough renewable energy on its system to meet other state targets, notably the renewable portfolio standard (RPS).
