Avista announced earlier this week that it is seeking proposals from suppliers of renewable energy.  Avista wants to acquire roughly 35 average megawatts (aMW) of long-term qualified renewable energy, to be supplied by the end of 2012 . The company is looking for proposals from wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, qualified hydroelectric and other renewable resources that meet Washington’s RPS standard.

Avista plans to host a conference call for potential bidders on September 30. Responses to the  request for proposals are due by October 23, 2009. The full RFP and instructions for bidders can be found here.
