A. Offshore Wind RFP
Gov.Cuomo公告正式开放纽约第二次近海风控项目OREC-RFP20-1(
As part of their proposals, OCREC-RFP requires offshore wind developers to submit a Port Infrastructure Investment Plan (PIIP) that includes at least one of the 11 prequalified New York ports to stage, construct, and manufacture key components, or coordinate operations and maintenance activities associated with the project. Developers' proposals must include a description of the proposed long-term use of the port facilities, including how it will compete with other facilities both regionally and globally. The state will provide up to $100 million in either reimbursable grant funding and up to $100 million in secured financing to assist developers of chosen projects with implementation of their respective PIIPs.开发商提交意向通知提交OREC-RFP截止日期为9月23日,2020年10月20日,如果完全授予,纽约将获得约9 000兆瓦离岸风能约一半的合同承诺Cuomo also announced the opening of two solicitations for land-based renewable energy projects by NYSERDA and the New York Power Authority (NYPA), respectively. NYERDA's solicitation, RECRFP20-1 (REC-RFP) seeks onshore, technologically-established renewable projects (such as solar photovoltaic facilities), which may be paired with energy storage, capable of producing a combined 1.6 million MWh or more. Selected projects will receive index-based or fixed-priced payments for their Renewable Energy Certificates (REC), similar to the payments to be made to project developers under the OREC-RFP. The deadline for submitting an eligibility application under REC-RFP is August 27, 2020, and the deadline for proposals is October 21, 2020.
NYPA's solicitation seeks utility-scale renewable projects that will produce an annual output of up to 2 million MWh or more. Developers of selected projects will enter into contracts to sell RECs, energy and/or capacity to NYPA or a designated entity, and are required to have a nameplate generation capacity that is 20-25 MW or 100 MW or greater. Submissions in response to NYPA's solicitation are due September 14, 2020.
Combined, the REC-RFP and the NYPA solicitation seek to procure sufficient renewable energy capacity to power nearly 500,000 homes. Together with the OREC-RFP, these solicitations are a significant endeavor by the state of New York to further progress towards the goal established by the CLCPA of meeting 70% of its electricity needs from renewable resources by 2030.
