The public option may be executed through a power purchase agreement (PPA), and a grant requires a 20% reduction in energy utility costs for property owners.

  • The Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) employs various procurement mechanisms, including PPAs.
  • A requirement for the grant agreement for public solar and energy savings demands a 20% reduction in energy utility costs for beneficiaries.
  • This grant requirement ensures property owners receive a proportionate share of benefits.

As as part of the as part of the grant for public solar and the energy savings associated with it, those it's a requirement of the grant agreement that the the reductions in energy utility costs be 20% of what they're used to paying.

So that's a requirement of the grant itself and how we design around the program.
