Bidder’s proposed generating source(s) must satisfy Reliability First/NERC Guides
and Midwest ISO capacity resource requirements for obtaining network integration
transmission service under the applicable TEMT (Transmission and Energy Market Tariff)
and for accreditation by the applicable NERC regional reliability council or successor
organizations. Bidder shall provide DUKE ENERGY INDIANA with sufficient documentation
necessary to demonstrate compliance. Bidder will provide the status of (i) the ability
of the Capacity Source to satisfy the definition of Generation Resource, as such
term is defined in the MISO Agreements, and (ii) the market deliverability test
by the MISO. Is it necessary for the bidder to request Designated Network Resource
Status and initially provide proof of deliverability to the PSI load zone with its
initial bid?
A) No, it is not necessary
for bidders to register as a Designated Network Resource (DNR) or demonstrate deliverability
to the PSI load zone during the initial phase of this RFP. However, if a bid is
selected for the short-list the bidder must demonstrate that the resource qualifies
as a DNR as discussed in the RFP paragraph 2.6.1 and must demonstrate deliverability
to MISO/PSI Load Zone prior to execution of any agreements.
Q2)

and heat rates be measured for the summer and winter?
A) Please use a wintertime combustion
turbine ambient air temperature of 20F and a summer temperature of 90F for Indiana.
