The definition in 1.t of the Standard Offer Purchase Power Agreement states that “Site Control means proof of dominion over real property to the extent necessary to construct the Project in accordance with the description set forth on Attachment A.  Site control may be established by: (1) fee simple title to the property; (2) a valid written leasehold interest in the property for at least the duration of the contract term; (3) a valid written option, unconditionally exercisable by Producer, to purchase or lease such real property; or (4) a duly executed contract for the purchase or lease of such property.”  

As further guidance as to what is necessary to document Site Control we offer the following:  a lease must unconditionally bind the lessor, owner of the property, subject to payment of a named rent and compliance by the producer/lessee with standard commercial terms.  An option or contract of sale must unconditionally confer on the producer the right to purchase or lease the property within an agreed upon period at a named price.  It must be binding on the owner of the property and provide that the owner cannot unilaterally withdraw, revoke, or rescind the obligation to sell or lease the property to the producer.

Additionally, you must demonstrate that you had Site Control at the time of application to enter the queue.  If compliance with this requirement is not demonstrated your project will be removed from the queue.
