Energy efficiency third-party solicitations

Energy efficiency programs proposed, designed and implemented by third parties 

Overview

 

PG&E will issue a series of solicitations for energy efficiency (EE) programs proposed, designed and implemented by third parties as part of a new statewide model for EE program delivery required in the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Decision [D] 15-10-028.

As part of this new model, PG&E will be the Portfolio Administrator and establish a new rolling portfolio of EE programs extending through 2022. The scope of these solicitations will cover the procurement of programs serving all existing and future PG&E customer sectors and markets.

 

PG&E developed an EE Business Plan to help navigate this period of transition. The EE Business Plan outlines our approach and strategy to deliver on EE goals through 2025.
