Analysis
This resolution approves the first amendment to a contract between the Metropolitan Government and Lightwave Renewables, LLC, for the design, construction, operation, management, and administration services related to solar facilities located at Central Wastewater Treatment Plant, Whites Creek Wastewater Treatment Plan and Omohundro Water Treatment Plan, previously approved by Ordinance No. BL2021-887.
BL2021-877 authorized amendments to the legislation by resolution of the Metropolitan Council.
The amendment under consideration replaces Exhibit A-Solar Services Agreement to the goods and services contract. Changes to the Exhibit A include the accrual to Metro, rather than the service provider, of Environmental Attributes, which are the credits, benefits, emissions reductions, offsets, and allowances (also known as Renewable Energy Credits or “REC”s). Under the previous agreement, RECs accrued to Lightwave Renewables. Dates referenced in the Exhibit A would be corrected.
