Description:
In February 2019 the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) adopted Version 1.0 of an Environmental and Social Justice (ESJ) Action Plan to serve as a roadmap for implementing their vision to “advance equity in ESJ programs and policies. On May 20, 2021, the CPUC approved D. 21-05-031 on the “Assessment of Energy Efficiency Potential and Goals and Modification of Portfolio Approval and Oversight Process”. This Decision directs PG&E to segment its portfolios based on the primary program purpose, into three sections: Resource Acquisition, Market Support, and Equity.
As required in CPUC D. 18-01-004, PG&E is seeking abstracts from prospective Third-Party (3P) Implementers (Bidder(s)) to design and propose a new equity energy savings program that will deliver the benefits of energy efficiency and building electrification (Equity Program) to residential customers in disadvantaged communities and to customers in regions that have not historically received it. This Equity Program will be required to focus on effective implementation activities and customer engagement, in contrast to past resource programs with a focus on claimable energy savings.
This Request for Abstract (RFA) is the first stage of a two-stage Equity Program solicitation. Selected Bidders from the RFA will be invited to participate in a subsequent Request For Proposal (RFP). PG&E selected RFP Bidder(s) will be invited to negotiate a contract with PG&E to implement this new Equity Program.
