Portland General Electric (PGE) Company is continuing its push for a clean and reliable energy future for its customers and the communities it serves by issuing a request for proposals (RFP) today seeking an additional 100 average megawatts of renewable power generating resources. PGE shared the RFP in draft form with potential bidders and stakeholders earlier this year, and on May 16 received final Oregon Public Utility Commission sign-off to move forward with the competitive bidding process. After final adjustments to reflect commission direction, the RFP is now open for bids.
Bids submitted must meet a minimum size of 10 megawatts, and can represent multiple technologies including geothermal, biomass, biogas, solar, wind and hydroelectric power. Bids can also be structured in a variety of ways, including power purchase agreements or proposals for facilities that PGE would own and operate.
