As previously announced, as a result of the Modified 2024 Long-Term Plan, the Program opened an additional 45-day CDCS application window from January 16, 2026, to March 2, 2026. To prioritize the selection of projects in the 2025-26 Program Year, the Program expedited the review schedule for applications and has published final scores in accordance with the CDCS scoring guidelines previously published in both the 2024 Long-Term Renewable Resources Procurement Plan (pg. 179) and the Program Guidebook (pg. 166). A total of 51 applications were received during the 45-day application window, including 10 project applications totaling 39.29 MW AC for Group A, and 41 project applications totaling 90.22 MW AC for Group B. In accordance with the CDCS scoring guidelines, the Program Administrator has scored all CDCS projects submitted during the 45-day application window. These scores will be used to determine which projects will be placed on a waitlist once the random selection takes place. The scores have been posted on the Program website at the Community-Driven Community Solar page within the Project Category Hub. Following the resolution of any scoring appeals, the Agency expects that random selection of projects within tied score brackets will be necessary based on the current scoring, but this process cannot occur until the appeal process is complete, and all scores are confirmed.
