Must the technology be commercial at the time of bid?How much historical data will demonstrate if it is viable?
Various considerations there include: technology, feasibility, whether there is any such technology commercially up and running, whether it is an eligible renewable resource for the CEC. In terms of when the delivery is required, that is governed by the PPA at the time required in the contract.So you can take that into account in your offer if there is more time required to commercialize the technology.The PPAs are subject to performance requirements. If the evaluation shows that the project is likely to deliver, then we are more likely to sign.We do want to see proven technology but we don’t want to discourage emerging technologies.
