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.

Incompetence? Not Really

Incompetence isn’t actually the issue with Trump.

Imagine for an instant that the president was paid $100 billion per year to run this country, and that he was given a $50 billion annual merit-based bonus if his key statistics were up that measured how well the country was doing in terms of the quality of Americans’ lives. Do you think he’d be starting useless and illegal wars that drive up consumer prices?  Destroying the educational system and the environment?

Not for a millisecond.

When Truth No Longer Matters

Published

One of the casualties of the post-truth era is that the statements of our “leaders” no longer are required to have any basis in fact.  What Jim Jordan says here is a fine example.

When he says “better” here, is he referring to runaway inflation?  Trump’s purposeless and illegal war with no end in sight?  His blatant corruption and criminality? His having, quite successfully, divided the American people into groups that hate each other?  The enrichment of billionaires at the expense of the working class?  The carefully engineered collapse of the environment so as to favor his donors in fossil fuels?  The demise of the U.S. educational system?

Please be clear.
