San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) is requesting Proposals for the Workforce Education and Training (WE&T) / Integrated Energy Education Training (IEET) Program. This is a one-stage solicitation process that will begin in January 2023. This Program will serve the workforce/trade professionals, customers, and Organizations (i.e., community colleges, 4-year colleges, trade associations) in the SDG&E service territory. This program will be classified as a Market Support program with the primary objective of supporting the long-term success of the energy efficiency market by educating customers, training contractors, building government partnerships, or moving beneficial technologies towards greater cost effectiveness. In support of the Decision definition of Market Support programs, WE&T IEET will focus its efforts on educating customers and training contractors.
In order to meet California’s goal to double energy efficiency by 2030, continuing to educate and train workers as well as prepare the incumbent workforce is key to meeting this mandate. There is a great potential for educating and training the workforce/trade professionals, and customers about energy efficiency and how to apply those skills. There is also a great opportunity to collaborate with Organizations to reach a broader range of the workforce and offer energy efficiency curriculum and related deliverables. Therefore, the Company is looking for an innovative and comprehensive solution that provides education and training on energy efficiency for all end-uses (i.e., HVAC, building performance, lighting, building design and construction, zero net energy, sustainability) to the workforce/trade professionals, customers, and establish collaboration opportunities with Organizations. The focus of this Market Support program will be to educate and train the workforce/trade professionals, and customers, and collaborate with Organizations on how to recognize energy savings opportunities, and provide them with information, skills, and resources to act upon those opportunities.
