RFP-22-806 Distributed Energy Resource Programmatic and Technical Analysis

The purpose of this request for proposals is to select a contractor team to support the CEC with analysis of Customer Energy Use Data (including AMI data, as available) to help the CEC better understand the State s energy load; impact of decarbonization actions and equipment on the grid, buildings, ratepayer energy costs or burden, and energy usage; and performance of decarbonization equipment and measures, including distributed energy resources (DER), under different applications. These tasks will support the development of policy recommendations and strategies that can provide greater grid reliability, building decarbonization, and customer value; improve energy demand and supply forecasts for the state; guide the development and implementation of programs that deploy building and energy system decarbonization measures; provide tools for improved and more accurate program targeting; and identify data gaps and future research needs.
