Bids for Energy Efficiency Incentives
The City of High Point with the support of NCMPA1, is issuing Energy Efficiency Request for Proposals (RFP) to encourage the development of energy efficiency improvement projects by High Point retail electric customers. The City of High Point is offering financial incentives to these customers for such energy efficiency projects through a competitive bidding process.
Customers who choose to undertake energy efficiency projects as a result of the financial incentives awarded through this RFP process will benefit from the reduced electricity consumption and associated power bills from High Point.
Program Criteria
Participants
Participation is open to any commercial, industrial or institutional customer with a peak annual billing demand of at least 250 kW. A qualifying customer must specify the amount of incentive required to implement the project. Funding of the incentives is intended to cover a portion, but not all of the cost of an energy efficiency project.
Projects
Projects may be submitted in partnership with an equipment vendor, consultant, contractor or other third party service provider.
Energy efficiency projects that produce, in the aggregate, savings of 100,000 kWh (or more) per year will receive preference.
All kWh savings provided by an energy efficiency project must be produced in a manner that will allow High Point to measure, verify and apply the savings toward its REPS (Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard) compliance obligations under the provisions of NC Session Law 2007-397 (Senate Bill 3).
It is acceptable to aggregate energy efficiency measures at multiple facilities (all of which must receive electric service from High Point) so long as the facilities are owned by the same parent company and operated by the same corporate management.
Incentive funding available from NCMPA1 for all approved energy efficiency projects of NCMPA1's member cities during 2009 is currently limited to $250,000.
Review of Proposals
All projects will be reviewed and ranked by High Point, NCMPA1 staff and its consultants. The highest ranking proposals in all NCMPA1's member cities will be funded first until available funds are gone.
Eligibility is limited to:
