Are transmission upgrade costs prorated per Megawatt?
Potentially they are. It is a function of other projects tying in at the same point. 32) Question: Can a bidder combine two projects in one bid to overcome the one Megawatt minimum size threshold? Is this acceptable even if the projects are in different locations and different clusters?If one were to aggregate different projects that actually had a different resource type, in the case of wind or solar capacity factors that are different, would it be possible to just submit them under one bid with different prices for the individual projects and then PG&E can pick and choose from the ones they thought were attractive or possibly select all? Answer: Yes, projects less than one Megawatt each, even if at different locations or clusters, may be combined to offer a total of one Megawatt or greater. If they are different technologies and you give us the ability to pick and choose, we will still allow aggregation as long as the total is one Megawatt or greater.
