Instructions for participating in MCE’s 2026 Green Access RFO can be found in the 2026 Green Access RFO Overview and Instructions.
Projects that can deliver these elements will be given preference, but they’re not required:
The Green Tariff policy is intended to promote the installation of renewable generation among residential customers in disadvantaged communities. The purpose of MCE’s 2026 Green Tariff is to fulfill the requirements of Assembly Bill (“AB”) 327, California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) Decision (“D.”) 18-06-027, D.18-10-007, D.24-05-065, Resolution E-4999, Resolution E-5102, Resolution E-5124 and Resolution E-5367 (collectively the “Green Tariff policy”).
To comply with the Green Tariff policy, MCE will procure new-build solar or solar paired with storage under the Green Access program. MCE will plan to hold one solicitation annually until the program’s capacity obligation is met. Any unmet and remaining capacity from this solicitation will be rolled into the following year’s solicitation.
Please submit any questions regarding this RFO to greentariffRFO@mceCleanEnergy.org
