UCF Solar Farm
NOTICE TO UCF SOLAR FARM DEVELOPER
The University of Central Florida, on behalf of its Board of Trustees, announces that services will be required for the project listed below
Project No.: 584 - UCF Solar Farm
Project and Location: University of Central Florida, Main Campus, Orlando, Florida
The University of Central Florida is making available a 40-50 acre plot of land on its main campus for solar photovoltaic power generation. The University is soliciting qualifications from qualified developers to assess solar development feasibility and subsequently design, finance, develop, construct, install, operate, maintain and monitor the solar photovoltaic system.
The University is interested in exploring two financial models. Option one is a 15-year closed-end commercial equipment lease, where the equipment would be owned by the developer for the period of the lease. Option two is a 10-year, fixed-rate traditional loan for the equipment, where the equipment would be owned by the University.
The University is currently receiving electrical service through Duke Energy Florida. The University is a primary metered customer with an electrical meter on each of the six (6) feeders. The electric distribution system is presently owned, operated and maintained by Duke Energy Florida. The campus primary distribution system is at 12.47 KV. The successful developer will need to interconnect with the Duke Energy Florida distribution system on multiple feeders, behind the utility meters. Duke Energy Florida is responsible for the engineering and construction of the primary electrical distribution past the point of common coupling.
Instructions for submitting a proposal can be found on the Project Fact Sheet. The Project Fact Sheet may be obtained on our website www.fp.ucf.edu or by contacting Gina Seabrook, gina.seabrook@ucf.edu, (407)823-5894.
