Request for Information Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

The Town of La Plata is seeking information from qualified third-party solar developers and electric suppliers regarding the feasibility, structure, pricing, and implementation of a Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to serve municipal facilities. The Town aims to reduce electricity costs and price volatility, increase renewable energy usage, and evaluate resilience options. Respondents are asked to provide information on their company profile, technical approach, pricing and commercial terms, resilience and storage options, community benefits, and project management. The Town will review RFI submissions for market insights and feasibility, and may conduct stakeholder briefings and a public meeting summarizing findings. Some key points to consider are: • The Town is considering solar for one or more facilities, including Town Hall, Public Works/Wastewater Treatment Facility, Police Facilities, and Water/Wastewater Infrastructure. • Respondents may propose on-site, off-site, or portfolio approaches, including aggregation of multiple meters. • The Town is interested in PPA structures and services, including design, engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning, as well as ownership and financing, interconnection, metering and monitoring, operations and maintenance, and pricing. • The Town is also interested in resilience enhancements, community benefits, and regulatory and program considerations.
