2024 RFPs

I&M has issued Requests for Proposals ("2024 RFPs") which seeks to secure up to 4,000 MW of generation resources by the 2029/30 capacity planning year to support I&M’s capacity and energy needs in response to new load growth. Under the RFPs, I&M seeks a diverse portfolio of resources to support the timing and energy and capacity characteristics associated with near term load expectations.  To fulfill this need, I&M will be issuing separate RFPs to provide for a targeted approach to generation portfolio diversity.  I&M anticipates selection from each of the RFPs.  The RFPs are as follows:

• RFP 1 – Intermittent Resources (i.e., wind, solar, hybrid)
• RFP 2 – Non-intermittent Resources (thermal)
• RFP 3 – Storage Resources (BESS)
• RFP 4 – Supplemental Capacity (capacity products and emerging technologies)

To bring these resources online in a timely manner, I&M has retained Charles River Associates (“CRA”) to serve as an independent monitor to assist in the 2024 RFP process.  This role will include stakeholder coordination, eligibility and threshold review of the proposals, and proposal evaluation support. 

Questions regarding the RFPs described above should be emailed to IMAllSourceRFP@crai.com. For further details on the RFP, associated stakeholder process, and RFP materials, visit Charles River Associates' RFP website. This website is managed by CRA on behalf of I&M.
