Question: Can a PPA make use of the Michigan City retirements interconnect replacement option?
Answer: No. Under MISO’s generator interconnection replacement process, NIPSCO would need to own the asset replacing the units at the Michigan City site. As a result, NISPCO can’t accept PPA proposals for facilities at the Michigan City site.

Question: Due to unforeseen MISO delays, a 2022 MISO queue position does not guarantee a 2026 COD. Is this acceptable or must it be no later than 2026 COD to bid into this all-source RFP?
Answer: NIPSCO recognizes that there are certain MISO queue risks and that the que process may influence the development timeline and in service dates for projects. NIPSCO would encourage bidders to submit a proposal for consideration and evaluation.
