From the meeting
CFU said the Viking Energy Center had site selection and rezoning completed and was moving through detailed engineering, construction bid package development, and permit approvals. Major equipment procurement for engines, transformers, and switchgear was already initiated, with construction planned for 2027 and commissioning targeted for late 2028 or early 2029. The project still needs bid awards and construction approvals.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
