ACES/United – RFP for Power Supply

ACES is conducting a power supply request for proposals (RFP) on behalf of United Cooperative Services (United), a not-for-profit electric distribution cooperative operating in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market. United serves approximately 114,000 electric meters and more than 35,000 fiber internet subscribers across portions of 14 counties in North and Central Texas, with a growing mix of residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural load. The cooperative manages its wholesale power supply and market exposure through long-term contracting and strategic market purchases, focusing on maintaining competitive and stable power costs for its members.

United's service territory continues to experience significant load growth, including interest from large-load customers such as data centers, which creates additional long-term power supply and capacity needs. In 2025, United sold over 3 million MWh of electricity and recorded meter growth of 3.03%, marking its sixth consecutive year of growth above 3%. The RFP is intended to secure the wholesale energy and capacity resources required to support this expanding demand profile within ERCOT.

The RFP was posted on October 2, 2026. All RFP documents, updates, and communications are available on the United RFP website at https://www.acespower.com/united2026rfp/. All questions and requests for clarification should be submitted through the United RFP website, which serves as the central channel for the procurement.

Proposal submissions must be made by emailing the completed Appendix A to United2026RFP@acespower.com. Respondents should refer to the RFP website for the complete set of instructions, submission requirements, and any scheduled milestones or deadlines associated with the procurement.
