--- Hawaiian Electric Co. has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for up to 100 MW of renewable energy to supply the island of Oahu’s power grid.
The company’s request for proposal (RFP) also allows bidders to submit larger proposals or subsequent phased increments for more renewable energy. In addition to the RFP, Hawaiian Electric is continuing discussions with other potential renewable energy providers who began working with the utility before the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission implemented its competitive bidding process in December 2006. Responses due 9/25/08.

--- Duke Energy Ohio is seeking proposals for a supply portfolio of energy and capacity generated from, or for the sale of, a renewable energy resource. Duke Energy is seeking a minimum of 61,000 MWh by the end of 2009, and 355,000 MWh by the end of 2012. Duke is releasing this RFP in response to anticipated requirements of the 2008 Ohio Energy Bill.
The minimum project size for types other than solar is 1 MW. Renewable energy resources located in Ohio are preferred. Projects with a start-up date of 1/1/98 or later will be considered, as long as they are online by the end of 2012. Renewable energy credit (REC) purchases will be considered from renewable energy resources that deliver energy into Ohio.
Notice of Intent to Bid is requested by July 8, 2008, the written questions deadline is August 1, 2008 and final proposals are due August 8, 2008.

--- Plug in America Annouces Grant Program to Support 2009 Formula Hybrid Competition. The grant funding, up to $15,000 per award, is for California student teams to design, build and race plug-in hybrid electric cars for 2009’s Formula Hybrid International Competition. The grant funding is intended to encourage engineering innovation among California college and university students. The grants were made possible by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) alternative fuels incentive program.
Under the program, students design and build an open-wheel, single-seat car that must must use at least 15 percent less gasoline than a comparable standard Formula SAE racecar operated under the same conditions. Another guideline involves recycling: Formula Hybrid teams are encouraged to incorporate used racecar parts rather than build everything from scratch
Last year, Plug In America awarded grants of $12,500 each to student teams at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and UC Irvine to participate in the recently completed 2008 Formula Hybrid Competition. Formula Hybrid is organized by the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New Hampshire
