Catawba County (County) is the owner and operator of the Blackburn Landfill and Resource Recovery and the Bethany Church Road Landfill Facilities (Blackburn and Bethany Church Road Landfills.) The Blackburn and Bethany Church Road Landfills are permitted municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills under North Carolina Solid Waste Permit No. 1803-MSWLF-1997 and 1801-MSWLF-1973. Blackburn Landfill is located at 4017 Rocky Ford Road, Newton, North Carolina and the Bethany Church Road Landfill is located at 2436 Bethany Church Road, Newton, North Carolina. The County has elected to issue this Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from qualified Developers to develop Solar Photovoltaic (PV) projects and related facilities for the generation of renewable energy. The projects will be developed in close collaboration and cooperation with Duke Energy and Catawba County at two landfill facilities listed above. Catawba County will lease land to the Solar Developer (Developer) for the installation of solar panels and related facilities. The power generated will be sold by the Developer to Duke Energy through a Purchased Power Agreement (PPA) negotiated between the Developer and Duke Energy or if a Duke Customer purchases the environmental attributes a Green Source Advantage model could be used. Duke Energy has customers interested in purchasing on system environmental attributes from impactful community solar sites who may have interest in purchasing RECs (renewable energy credits) and potentially project tax credits. The land lease for this project will be limited to a 25-year term pursuant to state law. If the solar development assets still have useful life at the end of the 25-year term, a new land lease may be obtained through an open bid process. For the purposes of this RFP, the scope of work requested by the County includes, but is not limited to, planning, permitting, financing, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning services for facilities associated with the Solar PV projects.
