SCPPA RFI Energy Exchange Agreement Pricing

Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) is requesting information from qualified respondents regarding Energy Exchange Agreement Pricing for three wind energy projects. The projects covered include Linden Wind Energy Project (50 MW), Windy Flats/Windy Point Wind Energy Project (262 MW), and Pebble Springs Wind Project (99 MW), with a delivery term start date of January 1, 2027.

The energy exchange structure involves SCPPA delivering wind energy generated from the specified facilities as-generated hourly output to designated points of interconnection, while the counterparty seller delivers firm, scheduled Limited Off-Peak Hour energy to the Nevada-Oregon Border (NOB) delivery point on a north-to-south basis. SCPPA retains all renewable energy certificates (RECs) and environmental reporting rights. Transmission to the points of interconnection is arranged and paid for by SCPPA, while transmission to the NOD is arranged and paid for by the Seller. The transaction is intended to be energy-neutral on an annual basis, with any shortfall or surplus settled financially using an Annual Settlement Price calculated as a weighted average of the ICE Mid-C Off-Peak Index.

Compensation consists of a shaping and moving fee on a per-MWh basis paid by SCPPA for the delivery of the Seller's firm energy to the POD, which serves as the only monetary compensation for the Seller's energy delivery. Residual product settlement occurs if one party delivers more energy than it receives in a calendar year, with settlement at the Annual Settlement Price. For Pebble Springs only, if SCPPA fails to provide the full 67 MW of BPA firm transmission rights, a Transmission Fee will be paid to the Seller based on the BPA Non-Firm Rate.

Key dates include: RFI issuance on February 9, 2026; clarification questions due by February 16, 2026; responses to clarification questions due by February 23, 2026; and the response deadline of February 27, 2026. The initial contract term options are either January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027, or January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2029.
