From the meeting
CFU said it had joined a 2026 joint proposal process for purchase power agreements covering energy, capacity, and renewable energy credits. The market scan included battery storage offers, including local Iowa options and a CFU site-based battery energy storage system (BESS) proposal. The decision is still open, and the zoning issues noted for local BESS projects make this a real pre-selection opportunity.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
