SCE will officially launch the RFO after CPUC approval of the Advice Letter. The Advice Letter may be found on SCE's web site at http://www.sce.com/NR/sc3/tm2/pdf/2571-E.pdf.
PV electric generating facilities located on rooftops within SCE's service territory will be eligible for this RFO.

In order to be eligible to submit an offer, a project must have received a complete System Impact Study or Phase I Interconnection Study, or have passed the WDAT Fast Track screens. SCE will accept offers after the CAISO Cluster 4 Phase I interconnection studies have been completed, or four months after the launch of the RFO, whichever comes later.
