The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), a regional planning agency which counts 101 municipal members including the City of Boston, MA, has issued an RFP seeking proposals from qualified parties to develop and administer electricity aggregation plans through separate agreements with MAPC municipalities.

The selected winner or winners will be available to the 101 municipalities to enter into separate agreements for aggregation services.

The Cities of Somerville and Newton and the Towns of Arlington and Sudbury have each elected to be expressly named in the RFP as an indication of their interest in pursuing municipal aggregation.

The RFP notes that MAPC and the named municipalities desire to leverage aggregation as a way to add more renewable energy to the ISO-New England electricity grid

Per the RFP, MAPC will assess a fee of $0.000025/kWh, paid by the electricity supplier to MAPC, for the first year of a municipality’s supply contract for purposes of covering MAPC’s cost of project development, administration, and support. RFP respondents must commit to incorporating this fee in supply contracts

RFP documents may be obtained by contacting Patrick Roche by email at proche@mapc.org using the subject line "CCA RFP." Proposals are due on 10/28/2015 at 2:00 pm.
