The South Mississippi Electric Power Association (SMEPA), a co-op serving 419,000 homes and businesses through 11 system providers, is mulling over the procurement of 250 MW of wind energy.
SMEPA issued a request for proposals (RFP) for capacity and/or related energy from wind resources with up to 250 MW of nameplate capacity.
Spokesperson Sara Peterson told NAW that the solicitation was ‘based on the desire of the membership to diversify their energy mix.’
The deadline for proposals is Aug. 31.
