California Community Power (CC Power), a Joint Powers Agency of nine California Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs), is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to procure new cost-effective clean energy and reliability resources. This initiative aims to meet local and state climate goals and comply with regulatory requirements.

Purpose of RFP: The RFP seeks proposals for renewable generation and energy storage projects that fulfill mid-term reliability procurement obligations, resource adequacy requirements, and California's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) goals. Additionally, CC Power is interested in standalone storage and solar plus storage projects for potential ownership, leveraging the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act.

Eligibility Requirements: Eligible projects include wind, geothermal, small hydro, solar combined with storage, and standalone long-duration energy storage (8+ hours). Specific requirements differ slightly for Build Transfer Agreements and Power Purchase or Tolling Agreements.
• Potentially upwards of 1 GW of wind, geothermal, and small hydro RPS eligible resources via long-term offtake agreements
• Up to 500 MW of standalone long duration storage or solar + storage resources via long-term offtake agreements
• Up to 125 MW of standalone long duration storage or solar + storage resources for CC Power purchase and ownership
