Federal Renewable Energy Project Implementation: From RFP to Project Closeout

On Demand Training

35 Minutes

Nine approximate steps guide Federal renewable energy project planning and implementation. These steps span two phases:

Planning:

  • Determine site facility and energy characteristics
  • Conduct renewable energy studies

Implementation:

  • Request and evaluate renewable energy project proposals
  • Award contracts
  • Design
  • Build it!
  • Undergo acceptance testing and commissioning
  • Performance period: O&M and M&V
  • Closeout

This course covers the implementation phase of Federal renewable energy projects – from creating and issuing a request for proposal (RFP) to project closeout. An earlier course covered the planning phase.

Site-level energy managers attending the course:

  • Will be guided through the nine steps of Federal renewable energy projects.
  • Will be given information on financing mechanisms available for Federal renewable energy projects.
  • Will be shown technical resources available through FEMP, including information that can be used to inform agency staff members and contractors on Federal renewable energy projects.
