Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Management Services

The City of Raleigh, North Carolina is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Management Services related to the sale of RNG and associated environmental attributes produced at the City's Neuse River Resource Recovery Facility (NRRRF).

Proposals are due on April 26, 2024, and the initial contract term is three years with two optional one-year renewals.
