Proposals for Renewable or Clean Energy
Instructions for the submittal of an unsolicited proposal for Renewable Energy and/or Clean Energy Resources
Purpose
TVA is accepting unsolicited proposals from qualified and eligible suppliers of capacity and/or energy from Renewable Energy and/or Clean Energy Resources. The submittal of an unsolicited proposal for renewable projects that have a nameplate capacity of 1 Megawatt and greater means that the scope falls outside of the Generations Partner standard offer of projects less than 1 MW. TVA is interested in term proposals for such power supply of 1 to 20 years in duration.
