The Commonwealth Utilities Corp. is now in the process of reviewing the plans submitted by the consultant it hired to analyze bids for an integrated resource management plan.<\/p>\n
According to acting CUC executive director Gary Camacho, Leidos Engineering LLC made a presentation to the board at their meeting last month. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve submitted results from their model and that\u2019s currently being reviewed by CUC,\u201d Camacho told Saipan Tribune. \u201cWe\u2019ll be communicating with the committees and we\u2019ve got the electrical engineering reviewing that package and see what the recommendations are.\u201d <\/p>\n
Camacho said the utilities corporation will then decide what is best.<\/p>\n
\u201cCUC will review and make a determination on what\u2019s best for CUC and its consumers and determine whether to move forward with the selection,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Without giving specific details, Camacho said the report from Leidos \u201cconsists of variety of different types of generation to include renewables.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a number of co-generation possibilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In August, Saipan Tribune reported that Leidos was down to five bids: \u201cRenewable 1\u201d which offers a range of solar generation, both with and without storage, with options for site control at specific feeders; \u201cRenewable 2\u201d which provides simple solar generation with 10-megawatt max capacity; \u201cThermal 1\u201d which has a project that involves diesel engines burning heavy fuel oil; \u201cThermal 2\u201d which has plans for diesel engines burning light fuel at 30 megawatt max capacity; and \u201cThermal 3\u201d which was described by Leidos as a project ranging from \u201cextending CUC\u2019s existing assets to new diesel engines burning light fuel.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
