Proponent Resources

Are you an interested Proponent?

The following information is subject to change.  If you are interested in bidding into the GCP RFP or wish to be added to the stakeholder email list to receive updates, please contact us.


Proponents in Nova Scotia can bid into the competitive RFP process to supply Green Choice Program participants.  As the procurement progresses, this site will be a landing page for the RFP draft, the RFP feedback form, the PPA draft, the PPA feedback form, GCP regulations, relevant webinars, and more. Additionally, enrollment mechanics and additional Proponent resources are listed below.


Proponent Bidding Mechanics

  • Step 1: The Procurement Administrator (PA) will issue a draft competitive Request for Proposal from industry to build new renewable energy projects to meet the energy needs of enrolled applicants. The RFP draft will be published to this website with a feedback form for a feedback period.
  • Step 2: The PA will iterate and release the final RFP for Proponent submission
  • Step 3: A winnowing period will follow, until the PA selects RFP final successful renewable energy projects
  • Step 4: Awarded renewable energy project(s) will enter into long-term Power Purchase Agreement(s) with NSP.
