From the meeting
At the October 22, 2026 meeting, the City Manager reported that Electric Cities of Georgia representatives had been asked to assess the financial viability of a proposed battery storage initiative. The report referenced a proposal from Hannah Solar and Velo Solar estimated at about $150,000 for further work. The stated goal was to store surplus electricity and sell it during higher-price periods, but Mr.
Jacobs said projected returns needed independent review. Decision state: informational update.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Albany Utility Board issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Albany Utility Board's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Albany Utility Board before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more utilities government opportunities in Georgia?
