6 FAQs about [New Energy Photovoltaic Panel Procurement Contract]
Do solar projects need an EPC contract?
In our experience, most utility-scale solar projects use an EPC Contract. An operation and maintenance agreement: This is usually a medium- to long-term Operating and Maintenance Agreement (O&M Agreement) with an Operator. The term of the O&M Agreement will vary from project to project.
What is a solar power purchase agreement (PPA)?
A solar power purchase agreement (PPA) is a financial contract in which a third-party developer owns, operates, and maintains the photovoltic system, and a customer agrees to purchase the system's electric output from the solar services provider for an agreed-upon price and for a predetermined period.
Will EPC contracts provide for the handover of a solar facility?
EPC Contracts will not provide for the handover of the solar facility to the Project Company, and the PPA will not become effective until all commissioning and reliability trialling has been successfully completed.
How can the Federal Energy Management Program streamline the PPA process?
To help streamline the federal on-site renewable power purchase agreement (PPA) process, the Federal Energy Management Program works with agencies and partners to assemble sample documents from completed PPA projects. See these sample documents for examples of requests for proposals (RFPs), land use agreements, and more.
Who determines the final content of a solar PV solicitation?
Agency contract officers, attorneys, and engineers are responsible for determining the final content of any solicitation. Updated to the regulations, codes, and standards applicable to solar PV are changing frequently; it is the responsibility of agency managers to determine which guidelines (and which versions) apply. Figure 1.
Where can I find procurement notices for federal contracts?
