01-31-05 - Notice - RFP Confidentiality
Cleco Power will treat as confidential all proposals submitted by bidders. Bidders shall submit their proposals, however, with the knowledge and understanding that any information submitted by them is subject to disclosure in order for Cleco Power to cooperate with any LPSC Staff informational requirements and to seek LPSC authorization of any accepted and fully negotiated bids and any necessary FERC approvals. In the event that Cleco Power, in its sole judgment and discretion, determines that information contained in any question, response, or other communication between it and a bidder, which is not contained in the bidder's proposal, requires confidential treatment, a confidentiality agreement will be submitted to the bidder if, as, and when appropriate.
01-19-05 - Notice - Corrections to Megawatt Daily and Electric Power Daily Articles
The Jan.14, 2005 editions of Megawatt Daily and Electric Power Daily incorrectly reported that the companies submitting bids into Cleco Power's Short-Term RFP for 2006 Resources "must" withdraw their bids from the Long-Term RFP if they bid the same capacity into both RFPs. Companies that submitted bids into the Long-Term RFP and want to bid the same capacity into the Short-Term RFP to supply up to 645 MWs for 2006 can select one of two options if their one-year bid is accepted. The bidders in the one-year RFP can either withdraw their bid from the Long-Term RFP or the bidders can change the starting date of their Long-Term bids to Jan. 1, 2007. However, bidders are not required to take any action until they are notified of being selected at which time they should be prepared to take one of the actions listed above.
Also, Electric Power Daily incorrectly indicated that the Short-Term RFP was subject to the LPSC's MBM requirements. Any solicitation for one year or less are not subject to the LPSC's MBM Order. Megawatt Daily and Electric Power Daily regret these errors.
01-12-05 - Notice of one-year short-term PPA Solicitation
Cleco Power, in cooperation with the LPSC Staff and the Independent Monitor (IM), today issued a one-year PPA solicitation for power supply beginning Jan. 1, 2006. Details on this one-year solicitation can be found by clicking the hyperlink below. Bidders who have questions on any aspect of this Short-Term RFP should contact Keith Crump, who is Cleco Power's designated representative for this RFP. Keith's contact information is in the short-term solicitation document below.
Although this Short-Term solicitation is not subject to the requirements of the LPSC's Market-Based Mechanism Order, Cleco Power has sought input from Staff and the IM. This is because of the one-year solicitation's relationship to Cleco Power's Long-Term RFP for those bidders who submit bids in both solicitations. As such, bidders may call Staff or the IM regarding questions about the standing of proposals made in either solicitation.
