The local Utility sells "Community Solar" in yearly blocks - is NOT yet Green-e certified but willing to provide all the data required to be Green-e certified. For a City-owned building, I would like to upload the documentation that is required in Green-e application forms. I will also document how many blocks the City has purchased and committed to purchase for the next two years. Lastly, I'll document that the energy required for this most recent bldg., based on energy model, is a small fraction of their total purchase commitments to Community Solar. Do you think we have a chance of receiving credit for this City's commitment to Community Solar?

Take a look at the Renewable Energy production credit in LEED v4. It allows community garden type systems to qualify.
This may or may not qualify for Green Power depending upon who owns the RECs. If the project does not own the RECs they will need to be replaced in order to count.
