IDER Competitive Solicitations Framework Working Group (CSFWG) Planning Call
This working group meeting is scheduled pursuant to assigned ALJ Kelly Hymes’ ruling of March 24, 2016 in the IDER Proceeding [R. 14-10-003], establishing a working group to develop the competitive solicitation framework targeting the reliability needs identified in R. 14-08-013, et. al. The CSWG is tasked with developing consensus on the following elements of a competitive solicitation framework:

Defining the services to be bought and sold within identified areas. The definitions should include details on the expected reliability and other performance requirements, as well as any constraints, not previously determined in R.14-08-013, on how distributed energy resources can meet the identified need;
Development of methodologies to count services provided and ensure no duplication with procurement in other proceedings, i.e., ensure these resources are incremental to existing efforts and avoid double-counting of resources;
Development of solicitation rules or principles such as constraints on procurement, e.g., floors and ceilings on volume procured, price paid, etc.;
Development of solicitation oversight needs, e.g., procurement plans, procurement review groups, etc.;
Development of solicitation evaluation methodology to include the valuation of any deferred distribution system upgrade;
Development of solicitation pro forma contract(s); and
Development of outreach plans to ensure robust participation in the competitive solicitations.

Utility representatives in CSFWG are directed to file a status report on June 1, 2016. A final report describing the working group’s recommended solicitation framework will be filed by utility representatives by August 1, 2016. Reports will describe the activities of the group and progress of the group in attaining each of the elements listed. Each report will identify consensus issues and disputed issues, positions of parties on disputed issues, and a recommended plan for addressing each disputed issue [e.g., through further working group discussions, comments on the record, etc.]
Working group meetings are posted on the Commission’s Daily Calendar to inform the public that a decision-maker or an advisor may be present at those meetings or workshops. Any questions about the CSFWG or IDER proceeding can be directed to Natalie Guishar, Regulatory Analyst | Demand Response Section, Energy Division | CPUC | 415.703.5324 | .
