About this opportunity
The Southeastern Power Administration (SEPA), a component of the United States Department of Energy, is seeking information from potential vendors who may be interested in bidding on an upcoming project related to optimizing the utilization of federal pumped storage hydropower assets and establishing new transmission paths between two Eastern Interconnection transmission planning regions. The RFI outlines two separate studies: the first is a feasibility study to explore options for increasing the transfer capability between Georgia and South Carolina, and the second is a capacity expansion study to quantify the theoretical increase in firm system capacity that can be derived from pumping. Interested parties are requested to submit their responses by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on April 8th, and SEPA will then contact respondents to schedule a conference.
This pre-solicitation notice does not have a set-aside designation, and the NAICS and PSC codes are not provided. The potential award value or budget range is not specified, and there is no information on any potential incumbents or current contractors. The RFI states that this is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal or a promise to issue one in the future.
Notice text
SOUTHEASTERN POWER ADMINISTRATION is seeking information from potential vendors that may be interested in bidding on an upcoming project pertaining to how an interested contractor could aid in the study of optimizing the utilization of federal pumped storage hydropower assets and new transmission paths between two Eastern Interconnection transmission planning regions. Southeastern is in need of two separate studies: The first project objective consists of a study that would weigh options that would increase the transfer capability between Georgia and South Carolina, by performing a feasibility study for necessary actions which would establish a new interconnection with an investor-owned 230kV transmission line in South Carolina. The second study should be options to derive the additional energy from pumping performing a capacity expansion study quantifying the theoretical increase in firm system capacity that can be derived from pumping. Study 1 and Study 2 are independent and may be completed in parallel.
