The utility said in the RFP that it is looking to purchase energy capacity up to 400 MW and its associated energy from resources within the Austin Energy retail service territory.
Proposers may provide offers under any of the following technology options: solar, wind, short and long duration storage, natural gas, fuel cell technology, geothermal, hydrogen, and other electric generation technologies.
Austin Energy said it will consider the long-term purchase of energy, capacity, and associated renewable energy credits (RECs) from utility-scale renewable energy resources as defined by the substantive rules of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, that are located in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) service region and specifically in the PUCT defined retail load zone for Austin Energy.
