Pacific Gas and Electric Company has issued an updated Request for Offers (RFO) for long-term electric supply, as part of the resumption of its long- term procurement process which was temporarily delayed in January. The submission deadline for initial offers is April 27. The RFO solicits offers for both Facility Ownership and Power Purchase alternatives.

PG&E has conformed its review process to satisfy the requirements contained in the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) long- term procurement decision, issued in December 2004. Most of the changes to the RFO result from the CPUC decision, and PG&E's specific request for offers to replace generation from its Humboldt Bay Power Plant in Eureka, California. As announced last month, as part of the resumed RFO process, PG&E is requesting offers to replace the 135 megawatt fossil fueled generation facilities at the Humboldt plant. Any interested party may view current information concerning this RFO on the utility's Website, at: www.pge.com/suppliers_purchasing.
