Description

Minnesota Power seeks proposals for 50–700 MW wind generation projects, with a preference for projects between 100 and 400 MW and for resources located in MISO Local Resource Zones 1, 2, or 3. Eligible structures include power purchase agreements (PPAs), build-own-transfer (BOT) projects, late-stage development transfers, and self-build proposals. PPA terms must be 20–25 years; the utility prefers BOT proposals and PPAs with a purchase option after 7–12 years. Commercial operation must be proposed between January 1, 2029, and December 31, 2030. Co-located battery storage may be included as an option, but wind proposals must be submitted separately from storage proposals. Proposals must address project eligibility, interconnection and delivery, firm pricing, creditworthiness, project team experience, schedule and status, financing and tax-credit strategy, siting and permitting, design and construction, labor resources, diversity and domestic content, energy production, operations and maintenance, market scheduling, and project limitations. Required submissions include the bidder forms and applicable pricing materials, project-specific narratives and supporting information, and conditional redlines to the model PPA, BOT term sheet, and technical specifications depending on the proposed structure. A signed mutual nondisclosure agreement is required. The solicitation also requires a socioeconomic impact study. A nonrefundable $11,000 fee is due after proposal submission for each qualifying proposal.
