The Appalachian Power Company has issued three RFPs for wind, solar, BESS and renewable energy certificates (RECs).
The first RFP requests bids for up to 800 MW of wind and/or solar resources, as well as co-located and standalone battery energy storage systems. The company seeks to acquire completed or development stage projects, with a preference for projects located in Virginia or on eligible West Virginia sites.
Facilities must be able to achieve a commercial operation date of 2028 and be within the PJM region or interconnected to the Appalachian Power distribution system. The company is requesting proposals for both new and operational projects.
The second RFP requests bids for up to 300 MW of solar and/or wind resources via one or more long-term PPAs for the energy, capacity, ancillary services and environmental attributes including RECs from facilities located within the PJM region and/or interconnected to the Appalachian Power distribution system.
The third RFP centers on RECs produced from eligible energy resources. Bidders may submit proposals for contract terms between 5 and 30 years beginning in 2027 but the company says alternative terms will also be considered.
Proposals must be submitted by July 16.

My main problem with it is that it’s direct violation of the United States Constitution, a document that, until recently, was a pretty big deal here in America.
A minor problem that further kills the deal for me is that I don’t want squads of lawless goons in my quiet little town.
As suggested at left, Rush Limbaugh made a fortune by sewing hatred into American lives, and he was incredibly good at it. He convinced tens of millions of U.S. citizens that anything that would not make rich white males richer was communism.
Following in his footsteps certainly does appear to be an essential guarantee of wealth.
Charlie Kirk, as an example, was a college dropout who was on a conveyor belt to selling used cars until it dawned on him that selling hate was one hell of a lot easier that hiding defects from car-buyers.
The words at left come from late-20th Century philosopher and ethnobotanist Terence McKenna.
His observation here echoes those of many other intellectuals who have pondered who it’s possible that an extremely intelligent species can make such poor decisions when it comes to governance.
The problem, I believe, is that intelligence isn’t the only characteristic–or even the main one–that drives the way we elect our leaders and get along with others. Our tribalism and greed are far more important to how human beings behave in groups.
