Contract Control Number: PLANE-202157423

 

Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): Oak Leaf Solar 100 LLC

 

Type and Scope of services to be performed:

This requests initiation of a ground lease of approximately 25 acres, as determined by the parties and per the final site design, of the real property located at Denver International Airport (DEN) Between 112th Street and 114th Street and east of N Trussville St. or a mutually agreeable location, as a suitable location to construct a solar array. Oak Leaf Solar XVIII, LLC (Oak Leaf) will pay DEN $675 per acre (prorated for any fractional acre) per year and a $2,500 annual access license fee. Lease and license payments will begin at the Effective Date, defined as date the City executes this Agreement.

 

Based on a 2% annual escalation rate, DEN would receive approximately $500k in revenue over the 25-year term. In addition, the solar array is expected to generate over 285 million kWh of renewable electricity, nearly doubling the amount of solar interconnected to DEN's electric grid and avoiding over 257,000 tons of CO2 over its project life.
