ERCOT Issues Another RFP For Alternatives To Braunig Units & CenterPoint-TDU Mobile Generation Solution
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
ERCOT has issued another RFP seeking Must-Run Alternative (MRA) Resources in lieu of executing a Reliability Must Run (RMR) agreement with CPS Energy Braunig Units 1 and/or 2 (~392 MW in aggregate).
ERCOT is seeking whether any MRAs may be offered which are more cost effective than either the proposed use of mobile generation from CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, as previously reported, or an RMR agreement
The RFP states, "Because ERCOT is seeking to obtain a solution to replace generators
that would be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, any MRA proposal submitted under this RFP must be able to provide the full amount of the awarded capacity for as long as ERCOT instructs the
Resource to operate, and at any time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
The RFP states, "Among other generation and Demand Response solutions that may be offered under this RFP, ERCOT is
explicitly soliciting alternative proposals to provide mobile generation in a manner similar to the LCPMGS [CNP mobile generation].
CPS Energy has expressed a willingness to make its substations available to certain qualified generators
on a temporary basis for the limited purpose of addressing the forecasted Emergency Conditions that the
Braunig Units would be needed to address. This limited allowance should in no way be understood to
suggest that generation would be allowed to be sited at CPS Energy's distribution substations for any other
purpose."
The RFP can be found on ERCOT's website.
