Wind not welcome as Xcel requests renewables

27 March 2006 - US utility Xcel Energy has issued a request for proposals for around 45 000 MWh of annual renewable energy or renewable energy certificates to be generated from renewable technologies other than wind turbines.

The energy or renewable energy certificates must be available by 30 September 2010. The energy would serve customers of Xcel Energy's South western Public Service Company in the South Plains and Panhandle of Texas, eastern and south eastern New Mexico, the Oklahoma Panhandle and southwest Kansas.

Eligible technologies are solar, hydropower, geothermal, fuel cells that are not fossil-fuelled, landfill gas and anaerobically digested waste biomass, and biomass.

Bidders may propose to supply all or any of the requested 40 500 MWh. Generators that sell both energy and renewable energy certificates must deliver to the SPS transmission or distribution system in New Mexico or Texas. Generators that sell only renewable energy certificates without associated energy must be located in New Mexico.
