Johanna or Santiago substations, and with a commercial operation date on or before December 31, 2017. SCE later changed the commercial operation date deadline to March 31, 2018. Although SCE initially required a minimum project size of 500 KWs, it represents that the minimum project size was reduced in response to feedback from developers about barriers to finding installation sites. In order to increase participation, SCE also states that it reduced its requirement for projects to have a Fast Track interconnection approval to only require a completed interconnection application. SCE hosted two Bidders’ Conferences with more than 90 participants and posted answers to bidders’ questions online. Ultimately, SCE received seven offers in response to the PRP DG RFO. Three of these offers did not qualify as ERRs and therefore did not conform to the RFO requirements. The remaining four offers were for in-front-of-the-meter solar PV projects, each mounted on a combination of existing building rooftops and carports to be constructed adjacent to existing buildings. SCE evaluated the eligible offers using Least-Cost Best-Fit (LCBF) methodology criteria set forth by the Commission, and ultimately selected and executed contracts for two projects with Sun Edison (the PPA projects). The projects, Bell Tustin and Red Hill, are 1,131 KWs and 1,036 KWs in size respectively, and will consist of a combination of rooftop and carport installations. Both projects interconnect to circuits that connect to the Johanna substation. 1.2. SCE’s Supplemental Testimony As part of the Scoping Memo issued March 4, 2016, the Commission required SCE to answer nine questions in supplemental testimony. The purpose
