Proposals, which are due by Aug. 12, must be for wind resources of at least 100 MW, interconnect to the Southwest Power Pool and be located in Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas or Missouri, the company said. It said solar resources must be a minimum of 50 MW, interconnect to its transmission system and be in its service territory, while proposals for short-term capacity must be for a minimum of 50 MW.
