By 2022, SCE is targeting to have at least 60% of our Energy Efficiency (EE) programs operated by third parties. To meet this goal, various solicitations for proposed program design & implementation have been scheduled to cover a range of sectors.


  • SCE EE Local Solicitation: Phase 1 - Residential, Commercial & Industrial

              - RFP Released to Market    July 24, 2019

              - Bidder's Conference            July 31,2019

  • Statewide EE Solicitation: Electric Emerging Technology             
  • Statewide EE Solicitation: UC/CSU/CCC Higher Education Program, Water/Wastewater Pumping, and Energy Atlas
  • SCE EE Local Solicitation: Phase 3 - Agricultural, Non-Resource


    Each phase will utilize a two-stage bidding process––a Request for Abstract (RFA) stage followed by a Request for Proposal (RFP) stage. Proposal Evaluation and Proposal Management (PEPMA) is the official site to register to receive information and be included in the bid interest list. SAP/ARIBA  https://service.ariba.com is the official website to download and submit bids. All contracts executed by SCE and selected bidders that are valued at over $5 million or with a term of longer than three (3) years must be submitted to the CPUC for approval, via a Tier 2 advice letter.

    Implementation plans are to be posted no later than 60 days after a third-party contract has been executed, or in the case of contracts that are required to be submitted via advice letter for Commission approval, 60 days after Commission approval of the third party contract.


    Bidders are required to self-register their company contact information for these upcoming SCE EE solicitation opportunities by visiting the PEPMA website. RFA & RFP submissions will be accepted through the SAP/ARIBA website. Please register on PEPMA prior to a solicitation release in order to receive a bid invitation. Once registered, your company will receive a bid invitation from SCE’s Supply Management group with opportunity details and requirements. Theactual RFA & RFP submissions will be accepted through SAP/ARIBA. Therefore,bidders will also need to register on the SAP/ARIBA website as well.

    Energy Efficiency Cost Effectiveness training (CET) Sessions for 3rd Party Solicitations Jan 10 & Jan 14, 2019 (Completed)


    The California investor-owned utilities (IOUs include Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE), The Southern California Gas Company (SCG), and San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) along with the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) are hosting a training on the process and requirements for determining the cost effectiveness of programs based on the CPUC’s requirements and available tool. 


    Two Energy Efficiency Cost Effectiveness Training Sessions will be held offered primarily with third party implementers in mind.  The objectives of the trainings are to:


    1. Provide an overview of cost effectiveness and the cost effectiveness tests used in energy efficiency programs and portfolios; and
    2. Demonstrate the use of the CPUC’s cost effectiveness tool (CET)


    For those planning to attend, it is suggested that you visit the California Energy and Data Reporting System (CEDARS) prior to the training and request the “Community User” login for the CET, so that you may better follow along with the presentations.


    Two training session opportunities will be offered, and the same content will be presented in each training.  Each will run from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.



    NEW EVENT- Integration of Demand Response Controls into Energy Efficiency Retrofits CPUC Energy Division Webinar Monday, June 3, 2019

    Dear Energy Efficiency vendors and contractors:

    Please save the date for a webinar the California Public Utility Commission's Energy Division is hosting from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Monday, June 3, 2019.

    The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) will feature a webinar sharing concepts and findings that are reflected in the Energy Efficiency business plan Decision (D.18-05-041) Section 2.4.2, regarding the integration of demand response controls into energy efficiency retrofits.

    This Decision called for third-party approaches to a limited integration of demand response (DR) lighting and HVAC controls in small, medium and large commercial buildings, as well as DR for HVAC controls in residences, the latter specifically to support the residential transition to time-of-use rates. The Decision dedicated some $23 million per year statewide to support these DR control integration efforts.

    Below is the call-in information and a webinar link to join the webinar. The LBNL PowerPoint is posted above in "Documents" and an audio recording of the webinar will be posted to this site after the event.

    Bidder Abstracts need to be a high-level summary of their program design, innovation and implementer experience and capabilities.


    All RFA related information will be posted on the PG&E’s Solicitations Website and available within PowerAdvocate when this RFA is released.

     

    This RFA is scheduled to release between May 28 – June 4, 2019.
