Under an energy storage tolling agreement, the developer of the energy storage system is responsible for obtaining site control, permits, interconnection rights, equipment, and construction contracts, as well as achieving agreed-upon milestones such as a target commercial operation date and a guaranteed commercial operation date.
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.
To prepare for a PPA or self-ownership of solar (or solar + battery storage) project, EECBG Program awardees will need to identify government departments that should be consulted about solar installation projects, such as facilities/public works; finance; legal; procurement; sustainability; and economic development.
Solar PPAs are also viable when the solar project is not located on a government property, but the government receives the delivered electricity output. These so-called “Off-site” PPAs are popular with large energy users with insufficient space to host large solar arrays. A PPA is typically 15 to 30 years long.
EECBG Program awardees interested in this option, should review the plans early with their local utility. Whether the government chooses a PPA or to own the solar project itself, the federal renewable electricity incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) can still be applied to the project.
Like PPAs, solar leases offer a similar arrangement, but have fixed monthly payments instead of the monthly PPA payments that vary as the solar electricity output changes. PPAs aim to offer a price per kWh that is lower than the market rate generation cost, though multiple variables factor into the actual price.
