HOUSTON, March 27 (Reuters) - Southern Company Services Inc (SO.N:
Quote, Profile, Research) has called for bids to supply 1.5 million tons of
coal (1.36 million tonnes) per year for three years to power plants in Alabama,
a spokesman said Thursday.
The request for proposals issued Tuesday seeks a three-year proposal to
deliver coal by barge to three plants and by rail to one plant, totaling 4.5
million tons, from January 2009 through December 2011.
The plants have distinct requirements, but heat content sought is
11,300 to 11,600 BTUs per ton. Sulfur content requested ranges from 0.9 pounds
to 2.0 pounds per million BTUs.
Responses from bidders are due April 7, the request for proposals said.
Southern Company Services, a unit of Southern Company, runs power
plants serving Southern-owned regional utilities in Georgia, Florida, Alabama
and Mississippi, plus a number of municipalities and cooperatives in the
region. (Reporting by Bruce Nichols; Editing by Marguerita Choy)
