AI Overview

Clean Energy Alliance's (CEA) feed-in tariff (FIT) program for smaller-scale renewable energy projects. Energy produced by the sites would be sold to CEA and sent to the grid for community use. In the initial phase of this program, CEA will approve a maximum of four projects totaling up to 2MW of solar generating capacity. Eligible projects must: have an intended minimum project size of 500kW (approximately 3 acres of ground and/or rooftop space), and a maximum project size of up to 1 MW; be a California Energy Commission-certified renewable generating resource; be a new build project; be located within CEA's service territory, a CEA customer and able to connect to the SDG&E grid; transfer renewable energy certificates to CEA; deliver under a non-negotiable 20-year Power Purchase Agreement with a base price of $85/MWh. Projects with co-located battery storage (at least 0.5kW storage for 1kW of generating capacity) are eligible for a $15/MWh bonus during the first five years of delivery term. Queue position bonus (FIT queue priority) will be given to: previously developed sites, developments consistent with CEA's Inclusive & Sustainable Workforce Policy, and projects with a tendered Interconnection Agreement.
