Request for Proposals

We are currently accepting wholesale power supply proposals

On August 1, 2022 PVREA issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for power supply resources. 

The RFP gives PVREA the opportunity to explore power supply options while remaining focused on reliability, maintaining some of the lowest electric rates in the region, and consuming fewer natural resources.

How does this RFP advance the PVREA 80 by 30 goal?

Partial-Requirements means we are considering products to supplement or replace a portion of our current power supply. Volumes considered for the Partial-Requirements bids must be between 10 MW and 117 MW.

Full-Requirements means PVREA is considering service to serve its total current and future needs for capacity and energy, scheduling, and load-following services.

Why is PVREA soliciting proposals with High Plains Power, Inc.?

As a cooperative, we understand the benefits of partnering with other co-ops to benefit from the economies of scale related to contracting, building, and maintaining generation resources.
