Preliminary scores for all TCS projects submitted during the “first day” application window on June 3, 2024 were shared individually with each AV on July 19, 2024. In accordance with the TCS scoring guidelines previously published in both the 2024 Long-Term Plan (pg. 164) and the 2024-25 Program Guidebook (pg. 133), the Program Administrator has scored all TCS projects submitted on June 3, 2024, that completed application processing. These scores will be used to determine the waitlist order once random selection takes place and the 20% developer cap is applied. As shared on August 9, 2024, the scores have been posted on the Program website on the Traditional Community Solar page of the Project Category Hub. Please see the full announcement for additional details including the process by which Approved Vendors may appeal decisions made by the Program Administrator on the scoring of their projects.
