The Office of Sustainability, within Facilities Management, is seeking to issue an RFP for renewable energy consulting services to evaluate all opportunities for renewable energy development and procurement. This consultant will assist with comparing renewable energy development opportunities on university lands to other market options based on the emissions, financial, and mission targets set by the Implementation team. Related to University lands, the consultant(s) will provide expertise in real estate (title, easements), renewable energy site selection, and technology choices. The consultant(s) will advise on opportunities for the acquisition of renewable energy on a large scale through instruments such as virtual (or financial) power purchase agreement(s), physical power purchase agreements, or renewable energy credits/certificates from one or more projects that may be located primarily in Minnesota, secondary within the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) grid, and tertiary within the United States. Advising will require expertise in establishing business terms of contracts, financial analysis of renewable energy options, tribal relations, the current VPPA market, and long term community engagement.
