Description

Edwards AFB is seeking an Energy Service Provider (ESP) to provide Edwards AFB's entire load for FIRM electric power, to include generation, transmission, scheduling and coordination for the non-firm Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) power now received and the transmission, scheduling, and coordination for the WAPA power received by Edwards. Edwards AFB would prefer that the supplemental power be Green Power, i.e. -- wind or solar power, NOT hydro power. Edwards AFB is interested in this Green Power at a reduced rate than that of the current tariff rate. Edward_s approximate annual consumption for 1999 was; Supplemental Power 133,471,077 kWh; WAPA 88,000,000 kWh. Delivery point capacities and peak demands are as follows; North Main Base, Switch Rack # 1 Delivery Point 52 MVA capacity; 15,648 kW (July 00 On-Peak); South Base, Switch Rack # 4 Delivery Point 27 MVA capacity; 18,240 kW (July 00 On-Peak); and Air Force Research Lab, Switch Rack # 2 Delivery Point 25 MVA capacity; 6,732 kW (July 00 On-Peak). 15 Minute interval data can be provided upon request. Edwards invites firms that have the capability to act as ESPs to discuss the Edwards requirement as part of market research. Interested firms are requested to respond to the identified point of contact for coordination of information gathering and sharing no later than 25 Oct 00.
