Midwest projects of 50 MW or larger
requested
Evergy (NYSE: EVRG) today issued a Request for Proposals (RFP)
for wind energy to supply the needs of its customers.
The RFP solicits bids for Evergy’s purchase of wind resources of
up to 1,000 megawatts (MW) that will be in service by 2026.
Projects that achieve commercial operation by mid-2024 and year-end
2025 will be given preference. Wind resources must be a minimum of
50 MW and interconnect to the Southwest Power Pool (SPP). Siting
preference will be given to projects located in Kansas.
Proposals are due by Nov. 23, 2021. Response and contact
information are available online at www.evergy.com/2021rfp.
Proposals selected from the RFPs are subject to appropriate
regulatory approvals.
Evergy has outlined its plan to expand ownership of renewable
energy and to retire fossil-fueled generation as the company works
toward its 2045 target for net zero carbon emissions. These wind
projects would fulfill the plan to add up to 1,000 MW of wind
energy by 2026 with projects that benefit from production tax
credits.
