Platte River Power Authority is seeking proposals for up to 150 MW of solar power to diversify its energy mix.
The nonprofit wholesale electricity generation and transmission provider wants to add the capacity no later than Dec. 31, 2023, when current tax credits are scheduled to expire. The new solar facility will need to connect to Platte River's transmission system and it should provide power under a 15- to 25-year power purchase agreement, according to a news release.
Interested bidders are asked to submit their proposals by Oct. 25. Platte River may announce a winning bidder by the end of 2019, depending on viability.
