Contract Control Number: PLANE-202157566

 

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

Type and Scope of services to be performed:

This requests initiation of a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement to purchase electricity from a solar array to be built at Denver International Airport (DEN) at the greater of 93% of the avoided energy price from Xcel or $0.031/ kilowatt-hour (kWh). In no event will the rate exceed $0.0575 per kWh. DEN will subscribe to Solar VIII at a per kilowatt-hour cost that is less than the per kilowatt-hour cost currently paid to Xcel Energy, resulting in immediate savings.

 

The solar array is expected to generate over 286 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
