Preferred resources for the RFO include renewable distributed generation, demand response, energy storage and renewable generation linked with energy storage.
Projects that stand in line with the RFO requirements can take part in the competitive bidding process, while SCE has scheduled an in-person bidder's conference on Oct. 7 in the Orange County area.
