Renewable Energy: For the purposes of this RFP, “Unit Capacity” is defined as maximum net MW (ac) output, and includes capacity, energy, ancillary services and environmental attributes (including but not limited to renewable energy certificates) delivered from a specific new solar or onshore wind facility.

Utility-scale Solar facilities must be greater than 20 MWs of unit capacity, with no maximum limitation on size. Each Proposal must represent generation at a single site and shall not reflect an aggregate of multiple facilities at separate sites to meet the minimum size threshold.

Onshore Wind facilities have no size limitations.

Energy Storage: For storage devices that are paired or standalone, “Storage Capacity” is defined as the maximum net MW (ac) that can be utilized.

Projects with delivery of 100% Unit Capacity and/or Storage Capacity commencing by December 31, 2027 are preferred. Considering the slow progress of projects through the PJM queue, we will evaluate projects with target CODs through December 31, 2029. We understand pricing may not be firm for projects commencing several years from now. The delivery year shall be clearly designated as part of all Proposals and should be supported by interconnection status as well as a firm contractual commitment to Project schedules.

CleanArc is currently
seeking PPA Proposals in the PJM RTO.  The contracts will settle financially on a Day-Ahead basis at any of the following Hubs:

• DOM Hub (PJM)
• AD Hub (PJM)
• N. Illinois Hub (PJM)
• East Hub (PJM)
• West Hub (PJM)

All Proposals must utilize existing, proven technologies, with demonstrated reliable generation performance.

Any lithium-ion PPA Proposals should include the following inputs/assumptions:

• Duration of battery storage component
• One full charge / discharge cycle in a twenty-four-hour period at submitted Minimum and Maximum States of Charge
• Battery augmentation cycle that maintains facility output (Nameplate Capacity MWac multiplied by duration) over the contract term
• Annual degradation rate to be applied to initial facility output (Nameplate Capacity MWac multiplied by duration) assuming no battery augmentation is performed
• Submission of anticipated facility useful life, given the charge / discharge cycle use case requirements noted above

CleanArc has developed a term sheet that is intended to identify key Terms & Conditions that enable Bidders to provide indicative pricing to CleanArc. The Proposal should be accompanied by a mark-up version of the Term Sheet. Marked-up Term Sheets do not constitute an acceptance of the Terms & Conditions by CleanArc and may be subject to negotiation in the pursuit of a commercial contract. The CleanArc team will send the Non Binding Term Sheet via email to Bidders who have returned the Confidentiality Agreement.

Key communications will be through the following:
