AI overview
The California Energy Commission seeks to enhance behind-the-meter (BTM) distributed generation forecasts to improve long-term electricity demand forecasting in California. This solicitation addresses recommendations from a 2024 study completed with the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) that improved the Distributed Generation Market Demand Model (dGen), which forecasts BTM solar photovoltaic (PV) and paired storage systems.
The current phase builds upon completed modeling improvements that introduced enhancements for Net Billing Tariff payback period calculations and methodologies for emerging consumer segments including low-income and renter-occupied buildings. The contractor will execute work to address scoped future model enhancements and additional recommendations identified by Energy Commission forecast staff to further refine distributed generation forecasting capabilities.
Key dates include a Pre-Bid Conference scheduled for March 5, 2026, from 09:00 AM to 10:00 AM (remote access only), with a questions deadline of March 5, 2026 at 5:00 pm. Proposals must be submitted by March 27, 2026 at 11:59 pm using the California Energy Commission's Grant Solicitation System (GSS).
