Due Date June 23, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. ET | | | New York State Energy Research and Development Authority | |
| Dear NY-Sun Participating Contractors,
This is to remind you that the due date for Request for Proposals (RFP) 5037: Expanded Solar for All is this Thursday, June 23, at 3:00 p.m. ET. NY-Sun Participating Contractors may submit applications through the NYSERDA Portal.
If you have any questions, please email communitysolar@nyserda.ny.gov.
About Expanded Solar for All:
NYSERDA will competitively select up to 300 MW DC of community solar projects to participate in Expanded Solar for All which will provide electric bill savings to over 160,000 low-income National Grid electric customers. Projects participating in the program will be compensated directly by National Grid, eliminating the need for customer acquisition, management, and administration. The credits generated by participating community solar projects will be pooled and distributed to all the customers in National Grid's Energy Affordability Program.
Expanded Solar for All is designed to deliver the benefits of community solar, including lower energy costs and adoption of clean energy, to low-income National Grid electric customers. Program eligibility is limited to CDG projects in the National Grid electric service territory that meet all program requirements, and applications may only be submitted by NY-Sun Participating Contractors through the NYSERDA Portal.
RFP Timing:
After the RFP closes at 3:00 p.m. ET on June 23, the eligible applications received will be ranked according to category type. Category A applications will be ranked from lowest to highest by the proposed Compensation Level. Category B applications will be ranked from lowest to highest by the requested additional NY-Sun incentive. All eligible applications in Category A will be selected before any eligible applications in Category B are selected. Applications will then be selected in rank order until the selected project capacity represents 300 MW DC in total, or a confidential bid maximum is reached.
NYSERDA will send Selection and Award Letters within approximately 45 calendar days of the RFP due date. Selected projects have 30 days to commence enrollment in the Expanded Solar for All tariff. If any selected projects do not enroll within 30 days, NYSERDA will then offer selection to qualifying application(s) that were not selected during the first round (grouped in rank order).
