Summary of the Pre-Proposal Conference Call |
Questions & Answers from March 15, 2013 |
The Western Interstate Energy Board (WIEB) and State-Provincial Steering Committee
(SPSC)
are issuing the attached RFP for consulting services to better understand and
quantify the capabilities
of demand response (DR) resources in meeting local reliability
needs in the West and specifically what
role DR can serve in integrating variable
generation resources. Specifically, the purpose of this research
project is to estimate
the contribution that DR could make in meeting local and regional ancillary service
needs, capacity needs and flexible resource needs in the coming 3 to 5 years. The
WIEB and SPSC are
issuing this RFP to identify the barriers standing in the way of
full demand side participation in providing
DR and to estimate the contribution that
DR resources could play if the barriers are successfully removed.
This work is funded through a contract with the US Department of Energy.
We hope you will review
the RFP and submit a proposal if you are interested.
This RFP is being sent to a number of consultants known to WIEB/SPSC. Please feel
free to forward
it to others who you think might find it of interest.
ALL questions and final bid must be sent to the following email addresses: sellenbecker@westgov.org using the subject line “Demand Response for VER Integration”.

Summary of Pre-Proposal Conference Call
Questions & Answers from
December 13, 2012 |
The Western Interstate Energy Board (WIEB) and State-Provincial Steering Committee
(SPSC)
are issuing the attached RFP for consulting services to develop a tool to analyze
historical
data
on flow, schedules and Available Transfer Capacity (ATC) on the transmission
grid in the
Western Interconnection. Specifically, WIEB and SPSC are seeking to create
an internet-based
analytical tool that allows users to search and analyze trends in flow, ATC
and schedule data
for paths in the Western Interconnection and display the results in a
graphical format. This
work is funded through
a contract with the Western Governors’
Association (WGA) and USDOE.
We hope you will review the RFP and submit a proposal if you are interested.
This RFP is being sent to a number of consultants known to WIEB/SPSC and WGA.

CREPC/WIRAB Webinar on WECC's
2012 PSA
December 18, 2012
The Committee on Regional Electric Power Cooperation (CREPC) and the Western Interconnection Regional Advisory Body (WIRAB) hosted a joint webinar exploring
WECC’s 2012 Power Supply Assessment (PSA). [slides] [recording]
The PSA has been WECC’s primary tool to evaluate whether the Western Interconnection and the subregions have adequate generation to meet future summer and winter peak loads over the next 10 years. WECC staff presented the assumptions and findings of the 2012 Power Supply Assessment and discussed the connections with NERC’s Long Term Reliability Assessment and WECC’s new probabilistic assessment tools.

Meeting Renewable Energy Targets in the West at Least Cost: The Integration Challenge
The Western Governors' Association commissioned this report to explore ways to reduce costs to the region's electricity consumers for integrating wind and solar, identify barriers to adopting these measures and recommend possible state actions.
Prepared by Regulatory Assistance Project for Western Governors' Association. The preparation of this report was financed in part by funds provided by The Energy Foundation. The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability supported the participation of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

CREPC-SPSC Webinar Series
| California's RPS Program |
| The CREPC/SPSC 4-part webinar series examines California’s RPS and the related transmission planning process. The first webinar by the CA PUC focuses on key provisions in the RPS and the implementation process for investor owned utilities in California. The second webinar by the CAISO explores the CAISO planning process and presents findings of its recent plans. The third webinar by the CEC addresses how the CEC will implement portions of the 33% RPS and its role to oversee publicly owned utilities (POU) programs. The fourth webinar by the CTPG explains the collaborative transmission planning effort of California’s IOUs and POUs and presents findings of the CTPG’s 2011 Statewide Transmission Plan. |
