During its 2006 session, the Maine Legislature enacted an Act to Enhance Maines Energy Independence and Security (Act). P.L. 2005, ch. 677. Part C of the Act (codified at 35-A M.R.S.A. 3210-C, 3210-D) addresses capacity resource adequacy by authorizing the Commission to direct large investor-owned transmission and distribution utilities to enter into long-term contracts for capacity resources and by directing the Commission to establish an electric resource adequacy plan. In particular, the Act contains detailed standards, policies and procedures governing the Commissions contracting authority.
The Commission is seeking consulting services to assist in: conducting a bid process for capacity resources and associated energy, including contract negotiations and economic evaluations of proposals for its February 23, 2010 solicitation; contract negotiations and economic evaluations of the remaining proposals from the December 3, 2008 solicitation.
