Integrated Distributed Energy Resources (IDER RFO)
Southern California Edison is procuring a portfolio of distributed energy resources—energy efficiency, demand response, renewables, and storage—to defer traditional infrastructure upgrades at two distribution projects serving the Palm Springs/Cathedral City area and Thousand Oaks. The DERs will reduce peak demand strain on the Eisenhower and Newbury substations, deferring capital-intensive upgrades and lowering overall customer costs. Proposals address energy consumption during peak periods across multiple circuit locations in Southern California's high-growth desert and coastal regions.

AI Overview
Southern California Edison (SCE) is seeking to procure distributed energy resources (DERs) to defer the need for capital expenditures for traditional distribution infrastructure upgrades at two distribution projects without a loss of system reliability. These DERs include energy efficiency, demand response, renewables, and energy storage, which will be deployed during times in which high energy consumption strains the infrastructure. The alleviation of the strain on the infrastructure will allow upgrades to occur at a later time, which may lower the overall financial impact on customers. The targeted locations that SCE seeks to defer distribution projects are: 1) Eisenhower Project: Desert Outpost 33/12 substation located in Cathedral City and Eisenhower 115/12 substation located in Palm Springs; 2) Newbury Project: Intrepid 16 kV, Hooligan 16 kV and Belpac 16 kV circuits located in Thousand Oaks southwest of the Newbury 66/16 kV substation.
