A little more info on the 150mw...On the
PREB WEBSITE you can keep track of their communications with the FOMB and PREPA through the docket filings.
This filing under case number
NEPR-MI-2020-0012 on page 2 item #2 directs PREPA to file with the PREB (Puerto Rico Energy Bureau) no later than FEBRUARY 9th "
A list of the renewable energy projects PREPA will choose to acquire 150mw from amongst the 16 proposed projects" The 150mw is obviously still in play. Yes behind the scenes haggling is probably taking place to push all 593mw through but they have to play by the FOMB's rules and that's obviously what they are doing.
For those projects that don't make the 150mw cut, there's some interesting reading about the new RFP (request for proposal) that will be used in the new procuremet rounds in this
FOMB LETTER disected by PREB.
Item number 12 and 13 again talk about us, the "non-operational" or shovel ready projects and how to avoid this fiasco from happening again. From what i gather a draft of all new PPOA's will be submitted to the FOMB in order to work out any issues. This should avoid abrupt rejection from the FOMB from happening again.
Also in this
JAN 26th FILING in the last paragraph on the first page it describes the set timeline for PREPA to evaluate
an RFP. This is set at 75 days. This gives you a time frame for how long it could take to go through the first procurement round, although they know Montalva well so I can't see it taking the full 75 days.
Anyways, for those of you who are bored and tired of waiting you can always bore yourself some more and read through all the dockets.
