Green Power Partnership
Aligning Green Power Partners with New Renewable Energy Projects Pilot
In 2011, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership (GPP) launched a pilot initiative to connect Green Power Partners with new, not-yet-built renewable energy projects that may align with their energy, environmental, and financial objectives. This pilot is intended to spur the development of new renewable generation by facilitating the signing of long-term green power contracts between end-users and project developers, thereby providing a guaranteed stream of revenue that developers can use to secure project financing.
GPP is currently soliciting project proposals from renewable energy developers which include project details, permitting and interconnection status, and participation opportunities for end-users (i.e., green power off-take, renewable energy certificate (REC) procurement, financial investment, and equity ownership opportunities). EPA will use the summary project-specific information to select projects to showcase on a project alignment webinar on July 17, 2012. Project summaries are due to GPP no later than June 22nd and must be submitted electronically to Blaine Collison, Program Director: collison.blaine@epa.gov. More details are available in the “Call for Projects” document, below.
