Request for Proposals

NC GreenPower is constantly working to add more renewable energy resources to the state's power supply. As additional participants elect to support cleaner energy in North Carolina through contributions to the program, additional generation is added to our existing power mix.

Most suppliers are selected through a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) process. When new generation is required to support NC GreenPower participant subscriptions, the program resource committee will issue an RFP for specific resources needed to complete the current resource mix. Interested suppliers are invited to prepare proposals detailing their projects, costs, timelines, etc., from which the resource committee will select generators for the program.

An exception to this process involves small wind and solar installations of 10 kW or less capacity. These installations are permitted to enter an expedited generation contract that forgoes the RFP process. This expedited process will be available so long as generation of small wind and solar is needed. As with all resources, interconnection must be completed and a power purchase agreement obtained prior to the supplier being eligible to become a generator for the program and receive payments for power added to the grid.

A note that the RFP process is conducted over a limited time period and only RFPs received prior to the indicated deadline will be considered for selection. Additional RFPs will be added periodically, so check back often for current opportunities.
