Questions & Answers
Please see below for questions and answers.
- Question: Additionally, no load data has been provided, potential points of interconnection or even where you are interested in locating the solar assets.
- Answer:
- Currently, we are only seeking qualifications. A complete proposal is not required.
- The solar assets will not be located on LRSA property. Additionally, LRSA has no agreements with any neighboring properties to locate solar assets. We are seeking to get into a Power Purchase Agreement with developers/vendors who can produce and/or supply solar power through agreements that they have or can procure with adjacent property owners in the vicinity of LRSA.
- Question: In reference to the RFQ for Renewable Energy Procurement Project, can you please clarify which location(s) the Sewerage Authority would allow solar to be built on? And please provide clarity/details on which “adjacent property” that is under site control?
- Answer: LRSA does not have the room to accommodate solar assets on LRSA property. Additionally, LRSA does not own, or have site control agreements with adjacent property owners. LRSA is seeking to get into a Power Purchase Agreement with developers/vendors who possess solar assets (either owned or can procure solar assets through agreements with others) and can supply power to LRSA.
