Data

Energy Division collects monthly project data through the RPS database which tracks the development status of all renewable energy projects executed by the three large IOUs.  This data is used by staff to inform legislative reports, briefing documents, and discussions related to renewable procurement.  The public data file below contains non-confidential information from the RPS project database.

Public information of investor owned utility renewable contracts under the RPS program include: contract summaries, contract counterparties, resource type, location, delivery point, expected deliveries, capacity, length of contract, and online date.  Other terms of renewable contracts are confidential for three years from the date the contract begins deliveries or until one year following expiration, whichever comes first.  Please see the Confidentiality Matrix for more information.

The publicly available RPS contracts with commercial online dates through 2015 are located here. 

Data for the 2021 RPS Confidentiality PD is available here.
