RFI for Solar Interconnection Grant Program Services

The Richmond, Virginia government authority is seeking information to help design and implement a forthcoming solar interconnection grant program. The agency intends to address the financial and logistical hurdles of solar projects, specifically targeting interconnection-related costs that threaten to downsize, delay, or cancel these initiatives. The anticipated program will serve public bodies, such as school districts and local governments, by covering these critical interconnection expenses. The scope of work requires the selected partner to manage the timeline of the grant program, oversee compliance and reporting, and provide comprehensive program management. The agency requires all performance of the work to take place onsite in Richmond, Virginia. Eligible respondents must be onshore organizations based exclusively in the United States. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish budget expectations for these services. Interested parties must submit all questions regarding this request for information no later than July 6, 2026.
