Hoosier Energy Announces RFP; Info Session 3/10/2020

Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative (“Hoosier”) is soliciting proposals for supply resources through a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) process to acquire, construct or contract for additional capacity and energy resources in support of its member requirements.

In 2019, Hoosier undertook a resource planning process and it is anticipated that Hoosier will require up to 1,000 MW (UCAP) by 2023. The purpose of the RFP is to identify the most viable resources available to Hoosier to meet their members’ resource needs. Hoosier intends to identify a mix of capacity and energy resources that may include solar, wind, thermal and market / financial resources in support of Hoosier’s member requirements.

Hoosier has retained Charles River Associates (“CRA”) to manage the RFP processes for the purpose of creating the RFP and soliciting responses. CRA will support Hoosier’s evaluation of all proposals and facilitate the selection process.

On Tuesday, March 10, 2020, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, Hoosier and the RFP Manager will host an Information Session covering the Hoosier RFP process. The Information Session will be conducted via WebEx. Instructions for participating in the Information Session are attached as a PDF file.
