DSD Renewables has secured a master contract with School Project for Utility Rate Reduction (SPURR), a utility purchasing group representing public agencies like schools, to be its chosen developer partner for the Renewable Energy Aggregated Procurement (REAP) Program. Under this partnership, DSD will offer solar and energy storage solutions to California public school districts, county offices of education, community college districts and other public agencies based on SPURR’s pricing and contract terms.
The REAP Program helps eligible organizations streamline their adoption of solar and energy storage systems through a cooperative procurement model. To date, the program has facilitated contracts for 275 MW of solar capacity and 80 MWh of energy storage for more than 75 public agencies across hundreds of sites in California.
“We’re grateful for the opportunity from SPURR to deliver economical solar and storage solutions to schools, municipalities and non-profits across California,” said Jacob Hoheim, senior director of origination at DSD. “With this partnership, we can help public agencies take control of their energy future while expanding our footprint of impactful projects across California and continue to carry out our commitment to accelerating clean energy adoption for communities.”
REAP program participants receive project feasibility studies and savings analyses at no cost. These assessments help public agencies understand their potential energy savings and environmental impact before committing to solar, ensuring informed decision-making about their renewable energy investments.
“Through our highly competitive RFP process, DSD emerged as the winning vendor for our REAP Program,” said Kevin Flanagan, REAP program manager at SPURR. “With its unique approach to project design and execution, and a history of successful projects, we’re confident DSD can help ensure this program continues to thrive and deliver valuable solar and storage solutions across California.”
SPURR is a California Joint Powers Authority of 340 member public school districts, community college districts and county offices of education.
