2009 Planning Period:

Progress Energy Carolinas closed the last RFP bidding session Nov. 11, 2008. Proposals received by that deadline have been evaluated, shortlisted, and contracted.

Due to the successful execution of several solar contracts and subsequent launch of the SunSense Commercial Solar Programs, 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 PECRenewbleRFP@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.

For commercial-scale solar projects, Progress Energy Carolinas offers a program for both PV and solar hot water systems. The SunSense Commercial Solar Programs are intended for roof-top mounted projects within the company's service territory. Details and applications are available at www.progress-energy.com/sunsense.

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