Progress Energy Carolinas: Renewable Request for Proposals (RFP)

Welcome to Progress Energy Carolinas' Renewable Request for Proposals (RFP) Web page. As part of our balanced solution for meeting the future energy needs of our growing region, we are seeking information on the availability of renewable and alternative electric generation. At this site, you will find information related to our Request for Proposals for Renewable Power Resources, including news releases, bidding deadlines, frequently asked questions, documents required for bidding, and general communications pertaining to the RFP. The RFP is an ongoing request designed to meet the needs of multiple long-term planning requirements. Information will be posted to this site from time to time, and interested parties are encouraged to check frequently for updates.

2009 Planning Period:

Progress Energy Carolinas closed the last RFP bidding session Nov. 11, 2008. Proposals received by that deadline have been evaluated for our current planning period, and bidders have been notified of Progress Energy Carolinas' intent to enter further discussions (shortlist).

Due to the successful execution of several solar contracts and pending execution of additional agreements, Progress Energy Carolinas is not accepting new solar proposals at this time. Non-solar bids with nameplate capacity of 10 MW or less will be accepted at any time for evaluation. Interested parties should consult the RFP package below, complete the non-solar bid forms, and provide required documents to PECRenewableRFP@pgnmail.com for consideration. Prospective solar bidders should check back in the future as the company's needs in this area will change in response to changing renewable requirements.

Additionally, Progress Energy Carolinas is preparing a program specific to commercial-scale solar hot water systems. This program is intended for projects within the company's North Carolina service territory. It is anticipated that full details will be made available on this Web site in the second quarter of 2009.

For automatic updates on the current RFP process, future bidding deadlines, or other related programs, please consult this Web site or e-mail PECRenewableRFP@pgnmail.com with a request to be included in our distribution list.
