Indiana Michigan Power prasa 1300 megavatus saules, vēja un saules enerģijas
Mar 17, 2022
Indiana Mičiganas Power (IM), American Electric Power Company (AEP), ir izdevusi pieprasījumu priekšlikumam (RFP) par iekārtu, kas ģenerē aptuveni 800 MW vēja un 500 MW saules enerģijas.
IM's tender offers private sector developers the opportunity to propose the best and most cost-effective projects to add significant renewable energy to IM's diverse generating set. IM currently operates five solar farms and purchases power from four Indiana wind farms. In 2021, more than 80 percent of the energy I and M produced is emission-free.
The resources sought in this RFP are consistent with the momentum IM provides for the Next Tomorrow program. Powering Next Tomorrow is described in IM's comprehensive resource plan, which is submitted to the state utility regulatory boards of Indiana and Michigan in early 2022. IM expects some new renewables to come online as early as the end of 2024, and the full 1,300 MW of renewables to come online as early as the end of 2025.
"This RFP is designed to provide qualified developers the opportunity to propose wind and solar projects that can serve Indiana-Michigan power customers," said Dave Lucas, IM's vice president of regulation and finance. These new resources will combine with IM's existing generation to provide a more diverse and flexible generation mix that will stabilize energy costs over time, stimulate economic growth, reduce emissions, and take advantage of new technologies."
Indiana Michigan Power's RFP is open and non-discriminatory, and bidders have the opportunity to submit proposals that include battery storage, emerging technologies and other resources to complement the portfolio and provide optimal performance and economics.
IM mēdz sniegt ekonomiskus ieguvumus Indiānai un/vai Mičiganai un mudina projektus, kuros pēc iespējas tiek izmantoti vietējie resursi. RFP arī aicina veiksmīgos pretendentus pielikt saprātīgas pūles, lai izmantotu mazus un daudzveidīgus piegādātājus kā inženiertehniskos apakšuzņēmējus.
RFP aicina īstenot saules enerģijas projektus Indiānā un/vai Mičiganā, savukārt vēja projektus --, kam nepieciešams daudz zemes --, var īstenot šajos štatos, kā arī Ilinoisā vai Ohaio štatā.
Bidding deadline is April 21, 2022. IM plans to sign contracts with successful developers by the end of 2022. Selected resources will be submitted to Indiana and Michigan's state regulatory boards for approval.
IM ir piesaistījis Charles River Associates, lai tas darbotos kā neatkarīgs RFP uzraudzītājs un iekļautu klientus un citas ieinteresētās personas pārstāvošo grupu ieguldījumu konkursa iepirkuma procesā.
