A Major Step in Moving to a Diversified Portfolio of Supply and Demand Reduction Resources
Southwest Louisiana Electric Membership Corporation, Pointe Coupee Electric Membership Corporation and Concordia Electric Cooperative Inc. are together seeking information from providers of capacity and energy resources regarding contracted power supply and demand reduction solutions. Collectively, these utilities’ requirements amount to an approximate annual peak demand of 925 MW (sum of the non-coincident peak demands) and 2,900,000 MWh of annual energy.
The utilities are interested in understanding the current availabilities, flexibilities, and preferences of companies interested in providing delivered energy and/or capacity. The utilities are also interested in understanding the potential advantages of contracting for a diverse portfolio of demand reduction and supply sources, including thermal and renewable technologies and storage alternatives.
