Co-op group seeks peaking, intermediate and baseload supply beginning in 2011

摘要

The South Mississippi Electric Power Association last week issued a request for proposals for capacity and energy to meet projected peaking, intermediate and baseload needs beginning in 2011. The association, which includes 11 distribution co-ops, said it needs 100 MW in 2011, 140 MW in 2012, 190 MW in 2013, 230 MW in 2014, 270 MW in 2015 and 590 MW in 2016, which would include a contract for 310 MW with a five-year 279-MW contract extension. The co-ops also need 800 MW in 2021.
