September 08 2010 - 12:49PM
Business Wire
The Potomac Edison Company d/b/a Allegheny Power (AP), Baltimore
Gas and Electric Company (BGE), Delmarva Power & Light Company
(Delmarva), and Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco) have issued
Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for full-requirements, wholesale
electric power supply to meet their Standard Offer Service (SOS)
obligations in their Maryland service territories.
Each utility will provide market-based supply service to some or
all of its electric customers who do not take service from
competitive retail suppliers. The RFPs will consist of supply
contracts ranging in term from three to twenty-four months. For
BGE, Delmarva, and Pepco, the bidding for Residential contracts
will occur in two procurements – October 2010 and April 2011, and
the contract term will be twenty-four months. For AP, the bidding
for Residential contracts will occur in four procurements – October
2010, January, April, and June 2011, and the contract term will
range from twelve to twenty-four months. For BGE, Delmarva, and
Pepco, the bidding for small commercial Type I contracts will occur
in two procurements – October 2010 and April 2011, and the contract
term will be twenty-four months. The October 2010 procurement will
be for supply services to begin June 1, 2011, and the April 2011
procurement will be for supply services to begin October 1, 2011.
AP will not conduct bidding for small commercial Type I contracts
in the 2010-2011 bid cycle, because the load will be supplied
through existing two-year contracts. The bidding for larger
commercial Type II contracts will be for three-month term contracts
and will occur quarterly. The first quarterly procurement in
October 2010 will be for Type II supply services to begin December
1, 2010. Further details regarding the procurement schedule,
including the bid due dates for this multi-procurement process can
be found in the RFP documents. The four utilities will concurrently
conduct their bidding processes under uniform rules and timetables.
The utilities are requesting proposals totaling approximately 4,251
megawatts (MW), including:
- 514 MW for AP
- 2,405 MW for BGE
- 341 MW for Delmarva
- 991 MW for Pepco
A joint-utility pre-bid webinar will be held on September 22,
2010, at 1:00 EDT. The webinar will review the general RFP
structure and process, the specific utility bid plans, and the
power supply contract.
