Request for Information (RFI)--Potential Demand Side Management and Demand Response Projects in NV Energy’s Southern Service Territory, Program Period 2010–2012

NV Energy (NVE) is issuing a Request for Information (“RFI”) for their 2010-2012 Southern Nevada Demand Side Management (DSM) Plan to be submitted to the PUCN as part of the 2009 IRP. Respondents are invited to prepare a preliminary project submittal in response to this RFI for the design of NEW energy efficiency measures and programs to add to its existing portfolio of energy efficiency programs. Responses are due on or before November 19, 2008. An electronic copy of the RFI can be found at here.

NVE is committed to expanding its cost effective portfolio of DSM and Demand Response (DR) projects. The intent of a NVE RFI is to gather specific information for the purpose of generating an assessment of a large variety of potential DSM and DR measures and projects to be included in the DSM three year action plan. NVE is open to all new potential energy efficiency and conservation project ideas. NV Energy is especially interested in measures and projects that address the following: 1) Cost-effective measures or projects focused on the existing residential home sector; 2) Demand response measures or projects targeted at the residential, small and medium commercial market sectors (note: NVE may release a separate RFI focused on the large commercial and industrial sectors at a later date); and 3) Specific end use or market focus, demand reduction; or alternative project or measure delivery mechanisms; that have the potential to reach a previously under- or unserved technology or market segment for nonresidential customers.
