WMATA Solar Ground Leases RFP (2019)
Source: Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA)
This RFP, issued by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), solicits proposals from solar developers to lease and develop solar photovoltaic projects on WMATA-owned properties. The document provides a useful example of how a public agency can structure a solar ground lease procurement, including site selection criteria, developer qualifications, lease terms, technical requirements, and evaluation procedures. Cities, transit agencies, and other public entities considering solar development on publicly owned land can use this RFP as a reference when designing their own solar leasing solicitations.
