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.

Hydro once made up around half of Alberta's power capacity. Why does Alberta have so little now?

CALGARY - When you think about renewable energy sources on the Prairies, your mind may go to the wind farms in southern Alberta, or even the Travers Solar Project, southeast of Calgary.

Most of the conversation around renewable energy in the province is dominated by advancements in solar and wind power. 

But what about Canada's main source of electricity — hydro power?

More than half of Canada's electricity is generated from hydro sources, with 632.2 terawatt-hours produced as of 2019. That makes it the fourth largest installed capacity of hydropower in the world. 

But in Alberta, it's a different story.
