Solar Market Potential Study

The State of Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control is seeking professional services to conduct a solar market potential study. The study aims to analyze the potential size of the market for solar photovoltaic electric generation facilities in Delaware, identify challenges and barriers, and provide recommendations to guide state policy and program design. The scope of work includes estimating the technical potential for solar PV statewide and by market segment, analyzing economic viability, identifying regulatory and permitting barriers, and assessing equity and low-to-moderate income access to solar benefits. The successful vendor will be required to provide a comprehensive report, including an executive summary, data annex, and recommendations for advancing state energy plan goals. Key considerations for this project include the ability to conduct geospatial technical analysis, perform economic and financial modeling, and engage with stakeholders to characterize market barriers and develop policy recommendations.
