Midwest projects of 50 MW or larger
requested
Today, Evergy issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for
generation resources to serve its customers.
The all-source RFP solicits bids for Evergy’s purchase or
contracting of up to 1,240 megawatts (MW) of energy resources that
will be in service by 2026. The RFP is Evergy’s first since the
passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. Any savings achieved as
part of the federal incentives would benefit customers.
Resources must be at least 50 MW and interconnect to the
Southwest Power Pool (SPP). Siting preference will be given to
projects located in Kansas and Missouri, particularly located
within Evergy’s service area. Proposals are due by Feb. 28, 2023.
Response and contact information are available online. Proposals
selected from the RFPs are subject to appropriate regulatory
approvals.
Over the next 10 years, Evergy plans to add more than 3,500 MW
of renewable energy and retire more than 1,900 MW of coal-based
fossil generation. Projects selected through this RFP would fulfill
plans to add up to 1,240 MW of renewable generation by 2026. Evergy
has set a goal of 70 percent carbon reduction by 2030 (relative to
2005 levels) and a target to reach net-zero carbon emissions by
2045. The company expects a combination of supportive energy
policies and evolving technology to enable the net-zero goal.
