The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) has selected 375 megawatts worth of clean energy projects in a solicitation meant for smaller developments ranging from two to 20 megawatts.
DEEP said last week that it had notified the selected bidders, who could eventually sign long-term power contracts with utilities, depending on negotiations.
More than 100 developers submitted bids, 82 of which were for projects that would be located in Connecticut. The technologies proposed include wind turbines, solar farms, fuel cells and biomass.
But as of Thursday afternoon, DEEP hadn’t yet publicly identified winning bidders or disclosed how many there were. DEEP spokesman Dennis Schain said Wednesday that he expected the list to be released in the coming few days.
A similar RFP meant for larger projects and coordinated between Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island resulted last week in the selection of 460 megawatts worth of projects across those states.
