So, this opportunity wasn’t the only reason why I invested into SCTY, but knew with the new Executive Order, solar was going to grow in federal use. But if this RFP works, GSA will be looking to be solar on a lot more buildings.
The PPA looks like a 10 year contract with an option for 10 years.
5MW is a decent amount to get companies to take notice… good size “pilot” in my mind.

"WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking an experienced solar developer to award a power purchase agreement (PPA) as part of its Federal Aggregated Solar Procurement Pilot – a strategic sourcing project that combines several small to mid-size photovoltaic (PV) installation opportunities within northern California and northern Nevada into a single procurement.
Nine project locations in northern California and northern Nevada…
Systems will be a mixture of rooftop, ground-mounted, and parking lot canopies."
