--- Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) plans to release a second 2008 Request for Offers (RFO) of renewable energy for power purchase agreements (PPA) and/or ownership options.
The August 2008 RFO will solicit offers for PPAs and ownership options of California RPS eligible conventional and emerging renewables, which include resources such as wind, geothermal, small hydroelectric, landfill gas, biomass, biodiesel, biogas injected into natural gas pipeline, ocean thermal, ocean wave, tidal current, PV, and solar thermal. SMUD will also accept letters of interest for Tradable Renewable Energy Credits (TRECs) in anticipation of a decision by the California Public Utilities Commission to accept TRECs for RPS compliance.
Interested parties can download the RFO documents from SMUD’s Electronic Bid Solicitation System (EBSS) Web site at http://www.bids.smud.org when it becomes available. Registration to the EBSS site is required to access the documents.
Proposals will be due in late October 2008.
--- Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for renewable energy projects that will decrease its dependence on fossil fuels and help it meet the states renewable electricity standard (RES). Renewable energy sources can be available beginning in 2009 and no later than 2011. The RFP is seeking multiple proposals for wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuel that will help PNM achieve a fully diversified portfolio.
PNM will consider offers for asset purchases, purchase power agreements, renewable fuels, or other arrangements. PNM will not consider offers for RECs without the associated energy.
Non-Mandatory Pre-Bid Conference is July 30, 2008 ; Notice of Intent is August 1, 2008; Deadline for submissions is Oct. 15, 2008.
--- Dayton Power & Light Company (DP&L), of Ohio and a subsidiary of DPL Inc., has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for renewable energy resources. DP&L is seeking a minimum of 38,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy from renewable energy resources by the end of 2009. Six hundred twenty five (625) MWh of this energy is to include solar photovoltaic or solar thermal energy.
In selecting bids, DP&L will consider the requirement that at least 50% of its renewable energy come from within the state. Renewable energy resources include wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, and fuel derived from solid waste. The deadline for submissions is September 12, 2008.
