Can anyone here help me with a question I have regarding the public’s access to government contract data? As an example, I am wondering if there are tools out there to be able to request or view information on the many contracts local governments sign with say solar project developers to build a solar project in a community. I imagine this to be something a local county’s website hosts deep in its depths (deep enough that a google search is not cutting it 😅 ).
For instance, from [this ](https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2023/06/07/fresno-community-solar-farm-to-reduce-electricity-costs-for-low-income-residents/)article, it seems the City of Fresno as the landowner is facilitating the development of a 10MW solar farm. I’d like to know if, as tax payers, we have access to the terms of such deals (like $/KWh savings etc).
My end goal is to understand the typical $/KWh costs these PPA providers are entering for my independent research. I can’t seem to find this info on their websites.

Your local Country Board / Office will have the contract on file for view.
It is one of the best things in America government contracts are available to view. In most other countries the contracts are “In Commercial Confdendence”.
