Request for Offers issued for resources to
bolster local grid resiliency
Southern California Edison has launched a Request for Offers
(RFO) to acquire new distributed energy resources to bolster grid
resiliency in the Santa Barbara-Goleta area.
The RFO is seeking a range of new distributed energy resources
including: energy storage, demand response, permanent load shift,
combined heat and power, fuel cells, solar PV paired with energy
storage and renewable distributed generation.
To be considered, resources must connect to a circuit, load or
lower-level substation served by the Goleta 220/66-kilovolt
substation. In addition, resources must be commercially proven
technologies, and project start dates should be no earlier than
June 1, 2019, and no later than June 1, 2020.
The RFO instructions provide additional requirements and are
available on the RFO website at scegarfo.accionpower.com.
“Unlike other solicitations looking to increase capacity of the
overall electric system, this solicitation is specifically designed
to help increase resiliency for the Santa Barbara-Goleta area,”
said Colin Cushnie, SCE vice president of Energy Procurement &
Management.
Projects that meet the RFO requirements can participate in the
competitive bidding process, and SCE has scheduled a bidder's
conference on March 22 at 10 a.m. (PDT). RFO and conference details
can be accessed by registering at scegarfo.accionpower.com.
“We are seeking to provide our customers with increased
reliability in the event of transmission outages that could affect
this region, and do so with local resources,” said Cushnie.
