2023 Distributed Solar and Storage RFP

Distributed energy resources (“DERs”) are a significant component of PSE’s preferred portfolio from the 2021 Integrated Resource Plan (“IRP”) and represent a piece of PSE’s strategy for achieving the targets laid out under the Clean Energy Transformation Act (“CETA”). In addition to its All-Source and DER RFPs, PSE issued the Distributed Solar and Storage (“DSS”) RFP under docket UE – 220971 to solicit distributed solar and storage resources.

In early 2022, PSE selected a vendor for its virtual power plant (“VPP”) platform that will be used to dispatch DERs. PSE is currently working on developing and testing the VPP platform, which will manage all applicable DERs in the future. Further details on VPP integration are provided in the RFP.

Updates to the schedule and documents will be published below, as well as sent to stakeholders. To be added to the DSS RFP stakeholder distribution list, contact SolarStorageRFPmailbox@lesvoorbereiding.com.

The following estimated schedule is subject to adjustment based on the actual pace of the evaluation process. More information on the Targeted DER RFP process and timeline will be provided throughout the process.
