Why did EWI submit a bid for a 434MW plant, when the REP was for a 360MW plant

Was it by sheer luck that of all the folks that were bidding for the  360MW power plant, EWI was the only one who submitted a bid for a plant that was 80 MW greater than the Request for Proposal (REP) for a 360MW plant ?

Was it by sheer coincidence that EWI did not enter the process via the same channels used by the other bidders ?

Was EWI privy to information that none of the other bidders were privy to ?

It may be all sheer luck and coincidence, but given how things have been progress thus far an given the world of mathematics and science, very few things happen by “accident” or sheer luck.
