The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) is soliciting Requests for Statement of Interest for implementation of a Biomass Gasification project for a CHP application in Sacramento, California.

Important Dates:

The objective of this RSOI is to identify a qualified and experienced project developer that will implement a Biomass Gasification project for CHP application in partnership with SMUD and the project site host. The developer will finance, design, build, own, and operate the project under SMUD's grant disbursement and power purchase
agreement (PPA) requirements. The project would use clean wood wastes (urban wood, forest thinning, construction and demolition debris, and lumber mill wastes).
