The Energy Only Queue Cluster 15 RFO (RFO) is limited to projects seeking Energy Only interconnection in California Independent System Operator (CAISO)’s Queue Cluster 15 (QC 15) and seeking Energy Only Commercial Interest Points in accordance the CAISO’s Interconnection Process Enhancements. Projects in Queue Cluster 15 that are seeking TPD Commercial Eligibility Points are not eligible for this RFO since CPA has already solicited for those offers in its 2024 Clean Energy and Reliability RFO.
Eligibility in this RFO is limited to “Energy Only” projects that have entered the CAISO QC 15 as Energy Only or confirm they will change their deliverability status to Energy Only to be allocated Energy Only Commercial Interest Points. For Energy Only projects to be allocated CPA’s commercial interest points, they must be eligible to receive Energy Only Commercial Interest Points under CAISO’s Interconnection Process Enhancement and therefore must be located in a Cluster 15 reimbursement zone.
To submit a proposal to this RFO and access RFO documents, you must register on the RFO Website.
Full submission instructions are included in the RFO documents.
