The Nova Scotia Department of Energy has released the final version of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for 300 GWh renewable energy to be online by January 1st, 2015. http://nsrenewables.ca/request-proposals
This long overdue document has been delayed by protracted discussion between the prospective proponents, Nova Scotia Power (NSPI), the Renewable Energy Administrator (the REA) and the NS Utility and Review Board (UARB), mostly over the final version of the standard form for the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). This was released May 25th, which then allowed for any final tweaks of the RFP.
Proponents now have less than three weeks to get thier proposals submitted to the REA. Submission deadline is June 27th.
Projects will be scored out of 100 points depending on their location within the province (40), project team experience(15), resource assessment (10), financial security (15), environmental assessment (EA) (10), community acceptance (10).
From the RFP: "All communication with respect to this RFP will be conducted through the NSRenewables website: http://nsrenewables.ca/competitive-bidding/renewable-electricity-administrator. Comments and questions regarding the RFP or PPA should be directed to REA@poweradvisoryllc.com."
