Request for Offers
The Sacramento Municipal Utility District has released a Request for Offers (RFO) of renewable energy for power purchase agreements (PPA). Proposals are due April 7, 2008.
Our Goal
SMUD has a goal to meet 23 percent of its retail electricity sales with renewable power by 2011 and beyond. The utility’s need for renewable energy continues to increase due to its commitment to expand the amount of power from renewable sources in its power mix and a need to replace current contracts that expire in the coming years.
The 2008 solicitation is for power purchase agreement offers of California Renewable Porfolio Standard (RPS) eligible conventional renewables, which include resources such as wind, geothermal, small hydroelectric, landfill gas, biomass and biodiesel. A separate RFO for emerging renewable technologies is planned for mid-2008.
How to Apply
Interested parties can download the RFO documents from SMUD’s Electronic Bid Solicitation System (EBSS) Web site at www.bids.smud.org. Registration to the EBSS site is required to access the documents.
SMUD recommends that those interested in this and future solicitations list their company name in the "Renewable Power" category as well as in one or more of the following Renewable Power subcategories: Generation Energy, Geothermal Power, Landfill Gas Power, Renewable Power-Other, Small Hydro Power, and Wind Power.
Registered individuals will also receive updated information regarding this RFO and will also receive notification of future solicitations for purchase of renewable energy resources.
