As previously announced, the annual block of capacity for the Traditional Community Solar (TCS) Group A block has been filled. Section 1.G of the Program Guidebook provides for a soft close period which allows the block to remain open for seven calendar days or when the next project applications submitted to the block would exceed capacity by 10 megawatts. The soft close period will begin today, July 2, 2026, and extend until July 9, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. CPT or until 10 additional megawatts of capacity are batched and submitted to the Program. Once the soft close period has concluded, the Program Administrator will announce that the block is closed. All subsequently submitted applications will be subject to the TCS scoring mechanism outlined in Appendix E of the 2026-27 Program Guidebook. Only projects meeting the scoring threshold of 5 points may be considered for an eligible spot on the waitlist for the TCS category.
