Debut developers are flocking to Southern Co. subsidiary Georgia Power’s call for 80,000 MWh of renewable power. Harry Judd, president of independent monitor Accion Group, says the tender’s smaller size is more palatable for first-time developers rather than large companies, such as Iberdrola or NRG Energy. “It’s amazing the interest we’ve got on this one. We’ve had 96 people participate in the bidders’ conference, which is unheard of,” says Judd. He declined to identify potential bidders.
