Resource Portfolio Production Cost Modeling Software

Anaheim Public Utilities (APU) seeks proposals for comprehensive Resource Portfolio Production Cost Modeling Software to support long-term energy planning, operational analysis, and strategic decision-making. The City of Anaheim is committed to maintaining a reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable energy portfolio while navigating California's evolving regulatory landscape, market volatility, and electrification trends.

The ideal solution will enable advanced scenario modeling, risk analysis, and performance reporting that accounts for fuel price volatility, climate impacts, and emerging technologies including battery storage and hydrogen. The software platform must support APU's regular evaluation of renewable energy agreements, scenario analyses for Integrated Resource Plans (IRP), and modeling of compliance with state mandates such as Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) targets. The solution should integrate seamlessly with APU's existing systems while providing user-friendly tools and comprehensive staff training.

Key dates include a Q&A deadline of May 29, 2025, and a proposal submission deadline of June 14, 2025. APU anticipates this engagement will support strategic planning, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance across the utility's energy portfolio management functions.
