Iarrann Indiana Michigan Power 1,300 Meigeavata Gréine, Gaoithe agus Gréine
Mar 17, 2022
D'eisigh Indiana Michigan Power (IM), Cuideachta Cumhachta Leictreach Mheiriceá (AEP), Iarratas ar Thogra (RFP) le haghaidh saoráid a ghineann thart ar 800 MW de ghaoth agus 500 MW de ghrianchloch.
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.
Is gnách le IM tairbhí eacnamaíocha a sholáthar do Indiana agus/nó Michigan agus spreagann sé tionscadail a úsáideann acmhainní áitiúla nuair is féidir. Iarrann an RFP freisin ar thairgeoirí rathúla iarrachtaí réasúnta a úsáid chun soláthraithe beaga agus éagsúla a úsáid mar fhochonraitheoirí innealtóireachta.
Iarrann an RFP tionscadail ghréine in Indiana agus/nó Michigan, agus is féidir tionscadail gaoithe -- óna dteastaíonn go leor talún -- a chur i gcrích sna stáit sin, agus in Illinois nó Ohio freisin.
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.
D'fhostaigh IM Charles River Associates chun feidhmiú mar mhonatóir neamhspleách ar an RFP agus chun ionchur ó ghrúpaí a dhéanann ionadaíocht ar chliaint agus geallsealbhóirí eile a chorprú isteach sa phróiseas soláthair iomaíoch.
