About this opportunity
The Texas A&M University System is requesting information from qualified entities regarding their interest in meeting the future electrical energy needs of the RELLIS campus through the development of nuclear reactor options. The RFI seeks responses addressing nuclear reactor options ranging from 10 megawatts to 1 gigawatt, as well as research test bed options from 1 to 10 megawatts. The information gathered through this RFI will be used to develop a future Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals for the feasibility, connection to the ERCOT grid, and construction of new nuclear reactor facilities on System-owned property. The resulting facilities will increase the net capacity within the ERCOT power region by up to 1 gigawatt, excluding energy storage resources.
This RFI does not involve a direct award, and the A&M System is not obligated to issue a future RFP. Respondents are required to provide true and accurate information to the best of their knowledge. No set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond have been provided. The RFI does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The potential award value or budget range has also not been disclosed.
Opportunity text
The Texas A & M University System ("A & M System") isrequesting responses to this Request for Information ("RFI") from qualifiedentities ("Respondent") regarding interest to meet future electrical energyneeds on the RELLIS campus. In particular, the interest should address nuclearreactor options for electricity generations starting at around 10 megawatts("MW") and scalable to 1 gigawatt ("GW"). Research test bed options of 1MW to10MW are also of interest.Through the information and interest obtained with this RFI, theA & M System plans to develop a Request for Proposal ("RFP") with the intentto solicit proposals from entities that are capable of performing all aspects such as feasibility ofthe sites, connection to ERCOT grid, and construction of newnuclear reactor(s) as dispatchable electric generating facilities ("Facilities")on System owned property. These Facilities, located within the ERCOT powerregion, will result in a net increase of up to 1 GW of capacity (excludingenergy storage resources). Refer to Attachment 1 for a map of RELLIScampus, the potential site of activities.By submitting a response to this RFI, each Respondent certifiesthat to the best of its knowledge it has provided information that is true andaccurate. No direct award will be madeas a result of this RFI. This RFI also doesnot bind the A & M System to issue any such future RFP.
