Where PCE’s Power Comes From

Peninsula Clean Energy’s experienced Power Resources team is dedicated to buying low-cost, price-stable, clean, and green sources of energy. PCE launched its service in 2016 based on a portfolio of power supplied by Direct Energy, and has added additional portfolio purchases from a variety of suppliers. PCE also works directly with developers to sign Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for renewable energy from facilities here in California.

PCE’s Board of Directors adopted the following procurement goals:

1. Design a diverse power portfolio that is greenhouse gas free.
   • 100% Greenhouse gas-free by 2021
   • sourced by 100% CA RPS eligible renewable energy by 2025
   • create a minimum of 20 MWs of new local power by 2025

In working toward that objective, PCE has signed PPAs for the following:

Name	Resource Type	Location	Status	Generating Capacity (MW)
Wright	Solar	Merced County	In development	200
Shiloh*	Wind	Solano County	Operating	150
Mustang Two	Solar	Kings County	In development	100
Cuyama	Solar	Santa Barbara County	Operating	40
Buena Vista	Wind	Contra Costa County	Operating	38
Karen Avenue	Wind	Palm Springs	Operating	11.7
Hatchet Creek	Hydro	Shasta County	Operating	7.5
Roaring Creek	Hydro	Shasta County	Operating	2
Bidwell Ditch	Hydro	Shasta County	Operating	2
Clover	Hydro	Shasta County	Operating	0.99

*Starts delivering to PCE in 2019.
PCE will update this table as more PPAs are signed.

2017 Power Content (Projected)

**As reported to the California Energy Commission’s Power Source Disclosure Program excluding voluntary unbundled renewable energy credits. PG&E data is subject to an independent audit and verification that will not be completed until October 1, 2017. PCE’s generation data is a forecast for 2017 and may be subject to change. Actual 2017 generation data will be reported to the California Energy Commission in 2018. The figures above may not sum up to 100 percent due to rounding.

***“Unspecified sources” of power refers to electricity that is not traceable to a specific generating facility, such as electricity traded through open market transactions. Unspecified sources of power are typically a mix of all resource types, and may include renewables.
