Dave,
The output (kwh’s) from many of the large utility scale PV facilities that you have seen in the news of late is headed to PG&E via 20 to 25 year, must take, PPA’s. I can get you a few specifics if you like. I don’t think the 9400 kwh I generate from my little PV system a year are counted in the total.
You can imagine why a CPUC board member would say the following in regards to the RPS strategy we FORCED upon PG&E- “It just worries me that if we sign too many of these contracts, it’s going to make the program look bad just when it’s being successful,” and “Mike Florio, however, voted against the agreement. He said the possibility of steep electricity rate hikes triggered by renewable contracts keeps him awake at night.” from this source-
