Kentucky public power utility Frankfort Plant Board is seeking proposals to meet all capacity and energy requirements associated with its retail load beginning June 1, 2029.
FPB will accept proposals from any electric utility, independent power producer, qualifying facility, exempt wholesale generator, non-utility generator or electric power marketer that is appropriately certified by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and that has resources available and can deliver the requested products to FPB’s load on the Louisville Gas & Electric/Kentucky Utilities transmission system.
The request for proposals invites comprehensive proposals that address FPB’s current and future energy needs, with opportunities for respondents to submit responses to either the Primary Proposal Requests and/or the Alternative Proposal Requests for consideration.
The Primary Proposal Request seeks full requirements proposals that will supply 100% of FPB’s capacity and energy needs, net of their SEPA allocation, with an optional focus on incorporating renewable energy targets in alignment with the City of Frankfort’s sustainability goals.
In addition, Alternate Proposal Requests are equally encouraged and may include, but are not limited to, portfolio-based approaches such as market capacity and energy purchases (e.g., block purchases), solar power purchase agreements to further support renewable procurement objectives, or other non-conforming proposals.
These alternatives should aim to deliver innovative, cost-effective, and strategically aligned solutions that complement FPB’s overall energy procurement strategy.
Potential respondents can request the RFP and other information by contacting FPB’s consultant, GDS Associates, Inc.
FPB invites all interested respondents to submit bid proposals per the submission instructions in the RFP document by 3:00 PM EST, January 12, 2026.
