American Electric Power subsidiary Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) plans to issue a request for proposals Nov. 3 for about 68.5 Bcf of gas supply and transportation service to meet the requirements of its existing and proposed gas-fired power generation starting in July 2007. The company said 40 Bcf would be annual baseload supply with 28.5 Bcf of seasonal service. PSO currently has seven power plants with 4,083 MW of generation, a portion of which is gas-fired. It also is planning to add 320 MW of gas-fired generation at its existing Riverside and Southwestern power plants. The company has included the daily gas requirements and average demand swings for each of its plants in the RFP. Bidders can submit bids for two to five years of supply. Contracts will be awarded in January. For more information, go to https://www.psoklahoma.com/.
