PURA Issues Order Approving Changes To Community Solar Program
The Connecticut Public Utility Authority (PURA) issued a final decision approving updates to the Shared Clean Energy Facility Program (SCEF Program) and setting the SCEF price caps and bid preferences for project applications to be received in the Year 6 procurement. PURA also raised the bid preference for solar canopy projects to 40%, but only if 100% of the generation footprint is included on the solar canopies. PURA clarified that (1) solar canopy SCEF projects can bid above the price cap to the point where the evaluated price, incorporating the bid preference, does not exceed the price cap and (2) the award price equals the bid price, not the evaluated price. In practice, this means that the ceiling on a solar canopy bid (award) price is $221.67 per MWh.
