Mississippi Power has issued a tender for solar individual projects of at least 20MW.
Qualifying proposals submitted through the request for proposal (RFP) process will be reviewed by Mississippi Power.
The company will determine whether there are economic and viable energy projects suitable to meet the needs of its customers.
Mississippi Power will consider proposals for 25-year term energy-only power purchase agreements from solar projects from bidders that are not affiliates of Mississippi Power or Southern Company.
It would receive all the environmental attributes from the projects, as part of the deals.
Resources must be located in Mississippi and must be directly interconnected with Mississippi Power’s transmission system.
Bids for the RFP must be received by 15 March.
