The North American Energy Markets Association is posting this RFI on behalf of our member the Tennessee Valley Authority.
The Expedited Resource Allocation Study (ERAS) process is designed to address targeted, short-term resource adequacy and capacity needs identified by TVA. It will not replace TVA’s standard LGIP cluster study process, but will operate separately while relying on definitions, terms, and conditions set forth in the LGIP. Projects seeking to participate in ERAS must meet all eligibility criteria and comply with the commercial requirements associated with TVA entering into an off‑take agreement. This includes executing a commercial agreement(s) at the time of project selection, followed by a Power Purchase Agreement on an accelerated timeline consistent with the ERAS process.
Please note that a formal determination of need is required to initiate the ERAS process. TVA expects to release the ERAS RFI and supporting documentation via the Power Advocate portal on April 20, 2026.
