United Power Announces Request for Proposals for Next Round of Planned Power Needs

Brighton, Colo.—United Power, one of the nation’s fastest growing electric distribution cooperatives, issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on June 23 for additional wholesale electric power products. The RFP seeks projects of up to 300 MW to supplement the general wholesale power contracts the cooperative has already secured in advance of its exit from its current power supplier next May.

Resources sought through this RFP are targeted for deployment and/or purchase in 2025-29.

“This newest RFP continues our commitment to building a comprehensive power supply, not just for when we exit, but as we grow into the future,” stated Mark A. Gabriel, President and CEO of United Power. “We are very interested in not only purchasing power, but in developing new, cleaner generation that is sourced locally. This will help to assure we continue to provide the reliability our members expect, while keeping costs as low as possible.”

Open to both new and existing resources, the RFP is soliciting power sources that will help the cooperative meet longer term environmental goals as well as the expected system growth. Additionally, the RFP seeks strategic partnerships with developers who can plan and execute distributed energy resources on United Power’s local distribution system.

United Power serves nearly 110,000 meters and maintains and operates over 6,500 miles of distribution line. The 900-square mile service territory wraps around the north and west borders of the Denver International Airport and includes the north metropolitan development corridors along Interstate 25, Interstate 76, State Highway 85, and E-470. As a result of its geographic location, United Power’s system is experiencing significant demand and energy growth, averaging approximately 6% annually.

United Power has contracted with The Energy Authority (TEA), a national energy marketing and risk management services provider, to issue the RFP and administer the RFP process. Commitments of intent to participate in the RFP are due by July 10. Respondents must submit proposals via TEA’s RFP Marketplace (rfpmarketplace.teainc.org) by July 24.”
