This workbook is a searchable database of community solar RFP clause examples sorted by topic. This tool is intended for use by local governments, municipal utilities or tribes who aim to:
• Solicit community solar projects through a competitive bidding process,
• Learn how to write a RFP from other local governments and municipal utilities’ RFP examples, and
• Develop their own community solar RFPs.

This Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued by the City of Chicago and seeks proposals that meet the City’s current and future electricity supply needs and allow the City to achieve its goal of sourcing 100% of its electricity from renewable generation sources by January 1, 2025.

This is an attachment from a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the City of Philadelphia, PA, in 2017 for a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). It provides energy use data and load profiles for the city.

The goal of this document is to provide local governments with an easily modifiable template, including a suggested structure and example language, to use when developing their own off-site renewable RFP. For cities and counties required to use their local government’s RFP template, the material in this template should be easily transferable to your city or county RFP template.

This Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued by the City of Denton, TX, in 2018 for a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The city was seeking proposals for up to 100 MW of utility scale solar energy as part of its plan to obtain a 100% renewable power supply capacity for its electric load.

This bid sheet was developed as part of the Off-Site Renewables Power Purchase Agreement – Request for Proposal (RFP) Template. The bid sheet is meant to be released in conjunction with the RFP to help the city/county collect project and economic data across all responses in a comparable fashion.

This Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued by the City of Charlotte, NC, in 2019 for a utility-scale solar installation. The city was looking to partner with a solar developer to participate in Duke Energy’s Green Source Advantage (GSA).

The goal of this on-site solar RFP template is to provide local governments with an easily modifiable on-site solar RFP. For cities and counties required to use their local government’s RFP template, the material in this template should be easily transferable to your city or county RFP template.

This webinar is about the core components of an on-site solar request for proposal (RFP) and recommendations for enhancing clarity in an RFP.

In 2022, the City of San Antonio (“the City” or “CoSA”) solicited proposals from qualified solar photovoltaic (PV) providers to design, engineer, build, operate, maintain and decommission turn-key installations of multiple rooftop and parking canopy solar PV projects at the site addresses listed. In this RFP, the City sought market-based solutions to provide a portfolio of onsite, behind-the-meter solar energy at a range of municipal facilities. Projects must be cost-effective and sited either on eligible rooftops or parking facilities as available.
