Local Power Inc. says it has received a notice to proceed from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) to write several requests for proposals (RFPs) to deploy a minimum of 210 MW of distributed renewable and demand-side in-city energy technologies to serve San Francisco residents and businesses by 2017 for the CleanPowerSF program.
According to the company, this work will fulfill a decade of voter-approved mandates and board of supervisors' ordinances to provide a 51% renewable portfolio standard by 2017, while maintaining competitive utility bills.
Local Power will prepare the RFPs after completing a cost model, a deployment schedule, and documentation of potential development sites.
