Indiana Michigan Power (I&M), an American Electric Power company, has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for facilities that will generate approximately 800MW of wind energy and approximately 500MW of solar power.
I&M’s invitation for bids offers private sector developers the opportunity to propose the best and most cost-effective projects to add significant renewable energy resources to I&M’s diverse generation fleet. I&M currently operates five solar farms and purchases power from four Indiana wind farms. In 2021, more than 80% of the energy I&M generated was emission-free. I&M expects some of the new renewable resources to be online by as early as the end of 2024 and the full 1,300 MW to be online as early as the end of 2025.
