ALLETE Clean Energy January 2023 Request for Bids for Renewable Power Offtake

INTRODUCTION

ALLETE Clean Energy developed the Caddo wind site in south-central Oklahoma in 2020-21. Caddo is one of ALLETE Clean Energy’s two largest wind sites and has an up-to 80MW open position with immediate opportunities for supplying prospective customers’ needs. ALLETE Clean Energy requires unit-contingent delivery at the Caddo project node. A 12×24 wind production profile will be provided after execution of the NDA. There is a strong preference for a 10-12 year contract, but other submittals would be entertained.

The ALLETE Clean Energy team will accept indicative responses and look to set up 1-1 consultations with prospective bidders in order to discuss product opportunities and contract terms.
