A government authority in New York City is seeking vendors to provide comprehensive financing, development, ownership, and operational services for thermal energy networks. The scope covers both the Hunts Point and Sunset Park Thermal Energy Networks, with a focus on phased network design and implementation to maximize efficiency, reduce operational disruption, and deliver early proof-of-concept for system performance.

Key components include establishing an ambient temperature loop backbone, expanding the network to encompass the majority of the Hunts Point food distribution center, connecting remaining offtakers, and integrating wastewater resource recovery facilities. For the Sunset Park network, the RFP outlines a three-phase strategy designed to optimize construction logistics, minimize tenant disruption, and coordinate funding. All submissions must address the successful deployment and long-term operation of these critical energy infrastructure projects.
