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.
