Posted on: Wednesday, 8 October 2008, 15:00 CDT
Delmarva Power today announced a Request for Proposals (RFP) for wholesale electric power supplies to meet its Standard Offer Service (SOS) obligation in the state of Delaware. Standard Offer Service is the market-based fixed-price electricity Delmarva Power buys on behalf of its customers who do not purchase their electricity from competing retail suppliers and who do not choose the option of hourly priced service.
Delmarva Power is requesting proposals to supply some 620 megawatts (MW) of electricity. Peak load contributions by customer class include approximately 295 MW for the combined Residential, Small Commercial and Industrial customers; 210 MW for the Medium General Service-Secondary (MGS-S) customers; 65 MW for the Large General Service-Secondary (LGS-S) customers; and 50 MW for the General Service-Primary (GS-P) customers.
A pre-bid conference for prospective bidders will be held in mid-October. The conference will review the general RFP structure, process improvements, the Delmarva Power bid plan for its Delaware customers and the power supply contract.
The RFP is being issued in accordance with the Delaware Public Service Commission (DPSC) terms and conditions established in Docket No. 04-391 for the competitive provision of electric service beginning on and after June 1, 2009. It is structured as a multi-phase bidding process with pre-bid preparation activities which started on Oct. 8, 2008. The first round of bidding will begin on Nov. 17, 2008 and the final round will conclude in late January 2009. The winning bidders will be awarded service contracts to supply electricity for Delmarva Power customers beginning on June 1, 2009.
