Download the webinar’s pdf slides – Developing the RFP
Aired on 9/18/2014 – The last in SSF’s 8 part series on Renewable Energy on Institutional Property, this session focused on Energy efficiency and renewable energy contracting, which is a new art for many government and institutional entities. Whether a direct purchase or in a third-party owned and operated public private partnership, procuring these highly valuable cost reduction systems requires new ways to navigate legal, regulatory and functional challenges. Our panel of contract and finance experts from federal and state agencies, finance organizations and higher education discussed their RFP process to provide insight into what has worked well and provisions to avoid.
