  • Shaped Energy: The selected supplier shall be responsible for electric energy delivery to either the NP15 EZ Gen Hub or DLAP_PGAE-APND (“Delivery Point”) through the scheduling of a CAISO day-ahead Inter-SC Trade (“IST”). Proposers should shape energy deliveries to match the projected hourly load profile of Peninsula Clean Energy (monthly weekday and weekend profiles can be found in Exhibit A within the attached Bid Workbook).
