Solar and Energy Storage (REAP) Program

Streamline Solar and Energy Storage Procurement with SPURR

Established in 2014, SPURR’s Renewable Energy Aggregated Procurement (REAP) Program helps California public agencies simplify the procurement of solar and energy storage solutions.

By leveraging the collective purchasing power of SPURR’s statewide membership, the REAP Program offers competitively sourced, transparent, pre-negotiated pricing and terms for any public or non-profit educational organization — helping reduce complexity, save time, and move solar and/or energy storage projects forward with confidence.

The REAP Program has been used by over 75 public agencies to contract for over 275 megawatts of solar and over 80 megawatt hours of energy storage at hundreds of sites across the state.

How the REAP Program Works

SPURR conducts competitive statewide solicitations for solar and battery energy storage solutions on behalf of participating public agencies.

Agencies can use SPURR’s established procurement framework and contract structure to accelerate project evaluation, vendor selection, and implementation while maintaining procurement compliance.

Why Choose the REAP Program?

The pre-negotiated pricing and terms secured through our statewide Request for Proposal (RFP) process can be used by participants without having to conduct their own lengthy and costly RFP process.

Key Benefits of the REAP Program for Participants:

  • Access to competitively-sources pricing and terms resulting from a transparent, statewide RFP process.
  • Streamlined solar and energy storage buying process through the use of a proven cooperative procurement program.
  • Free project feasibility study and savings analysis for any public agency interested in using the REAP Program.
  • Reduced administrative strain associated with solar and energy storage procurement.
  • Favorable contract terms and conditions negotiated by SPURR’s expert staff.
  • Access to transparent, publicly available pricing and terms so that estimated project returns on investment can be quickly assessed.
