2-Bucks County Ordinance167 03162022.pdf

This is an ordinance document from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, dated March 16, 2022, establishing local regulations in support of the Sustainable Energy Partnership's solar procurement and installation initiative. The ordinance applies to projects identified by the SEP, which is a consortium of four Pennsylvania counties: Bucks County, Chester County, Delaware County, and Montgomery County. The document establishes the framework and authority for Bucks County's participation in the regional solar procurement program, including the authorization for procurement activities and installation of solar energy systems across identified projects within the county.

The ordinance provides the legal and regulatory foundation for the county's engagement in the multi-county solar procurement effort, addressing municipal authorization and compliance requirements necessary for the SEP to execute solar projects within Bucks County's jurisdiction. The document establishes the procedural and contractual parameters under which solar procurement and installation activities will be conducted, ensuring alignment with local ordinances and state regulations. No specific pricing, quantities, response dates, or contract terms are detailed in the ordinance itself, as it serves primarily as the enabling legislation authorizing the county's participation in the regional partnership rather than establishing specific procurement details or financial terms.
