The utility, which serves close to a million customers, is working toward a Washington requirement that large utilities in the state provide 15% of its electricity from new renewable sources by 2020.
City Light’s recently updated load forecast predicts a need for 40-100 average MW of additional electricity each year for the next decade.
In its request for proposals (RFP), City Light states an interest in both power purchase agreements (PPA), generation co-ownership opportunities and the purchase of renewable energy credits.
