DOER Releases RFP for SMART Program Competitive Procurement Block

The DOER has released the RFP for the initial block of the much anticipated SMART program. DOER has issued the final regulations and submitted them to the DPU to enact the tariff rules, requesting the tariff be created by June 1st, 2018 but the process is still ongoing.

Although right now, the official launch of the SMART program is not expected until summer, 2018, all blocks after the RFP will be benchmarked against this initial RFP making the pricing resulting from this RFP important for the entire program. The100MW RFP is managed by the newly selected administrator, CLEAResult, and will set the clearing price for the initial set of solar projects once the official launch of the SMART program occurs.
