Specifications include, but are not limited to: The purpose of this RFP is to secure a provider for a Distributed Energy Resource Management Service (DERMS). The DERMS will support the Trust’s demand response priorities, including: • Load curtailment during annual ISO-NE peak, • Load curtailment during the monthly regional network service (RNS) peak, • Load shifting to off-peak hours, and • Load shifting based on forecasted wholesale electricity prices. The DERMS provider will implement multiple strategies to achieve the Trust’s priorities including, but not limited to, active dispatching and TOU scheduling. The remainder of this section details the demand-side management initiatives that the Trust plans to pursue during its Triennial Plan V period (7/1/2022- 6/30/2025). While this is a full overview, not every initiative will be applicable to the DERMS platform. Applicability to the DERMS platform will be determined by the Trust on a case-by-case basis. Please also note that other opportunities, which are unforeseen today, may arise in the future.
