Request for Information for Public Solar New York City

The NYC Office of the Mayor has been awarded $37.5 million from the EPA Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund under the Federal Inflation Reduction Act to develop a program called Public Solar NYC, aimed at providing solar energy benefits to low-income residents in New York City. To support the design of this initiative, the city has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather insights from the solar industry. This RFI is purely informational and voluntary, with no direct contract or funding tied to submissions. The RFI invites responses from interested parties on topics relevant to their expertise by March 21, 2025, to help shape the Public Solar NYC program. The city will hold informational sessions on February 11 and March 11, 2025, to facilitate engagement and provide further details. Inquiries and responses can be directed to the primary contact, Isha Patel, at the NYC Office of the Mayor. The solicitation is part of the city’s efforts to advance clean energy equity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
