From the meeting
MMMPEP staff said they are working to eliminate the need to use Southwest Power Pool (SPP) transmission for their power pool because the forecasted transmission costs are rising sharply. The discussion also noted that upcoming 765kV projects were not included in the forecast. This is a strategic utility planning signal tied to future transmission and supply decisions, not a contract award.

Questions about this project
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.
