The CPUC has approved over 7,000 MW of IOU contracts for RPS-eligible energy. While it appears that the RPS procurement process is working, project development has been slow. A typical project must obtain a CPUC-approved power purchase agreement (PPA) with an IOU; a host of generation facility permits from the county, the CEC, air quality districts and other agencies, including environmental as required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); site control through purchase or lease from a private landowner or a land use agency; financing; interconnection agreement with the California Independent System Operator (ISO) or another grid operator; equipment; and an engineer-procure-construct contract.
