Request for Proposals: MASFA Educational Materials Provider

In addition to core Massachusetts Solar for All initiatives, MassCEC will use funding for technical assistance (TA) programming to address barriers to solar deployment. As a TA offering, the Educational Materials Provider will help ensure that members of low-income and disadvantaged communities, solar installers, and community-based organizations have clear, consistent, and actionable materials to increase program participation. The Provider will also create a basic tool that will allow residents to preview potential MASFA program eligibility.

MASFA is a five-year program, funded by a $156 million award from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), that aims to expand access to clean and affordable solar energy to low-income and disadvantaged communities in Massachusetts. Funding has been obligated, but circumstances outside of MassCEC’s control may require that we delay, cancel, or adjust awarding funds under this RFP, depending on the availability of federal funds or required changes to the program.

Please note

A separate “Decision Support” Provider will leverage the Educational Materials Provider’s work products in their one-on-one engagements with Residents. Applicants are welcome to apply to multiple concurrent MASFA procurements if their skillsets align with both solicitations.
