Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is seeking proposals from consultants to assist with integrated distribution system planning. Proposals can be submitted via email or a secure cloud-based link.

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) is issuing a Notice of Revised Schedule to update stakeholders and potential bidders regarding changes to the DEEP Expanded Efficiency and Affordability Procurement. This revision is in response to the passage of Public Act 25-173, which expands DEEP's authority to solicit active electric demand response measures and active or passive gas demand response measures. DEEP intends to release a revised draft RFP later this summer, with a final RFP to be released on October 1, 2025.

Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) is issuing a revised schedule, technical meeting, and request for written comments for an expanded electric efficiency and affordability procurement. This RFP seeks proposals for residential, commercial, and industrial passive demand response measures that reduce electric demand and allow for on-bill savings.

Request for proposals for new or incremental energy storage systems in Connecticut. DEEP may select up to 450 MW, with a maximum project size of 250 MW. Contracts for fleet electrification are limited to 20 years. Policy objectives include displacing fossil fuel generation, interconnecting large electrical loads, and supporting renewable generation.

Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) is seeking proposals from private developers for eligible electricity generating resources to secure cost-effective energy generated by offshore wind. DEEP aims to procure up to 2,000 MW to achieve policy goals of affordable, equitable, and reliable emission-free energy.

This Request for Proposals (RFP) solicits offers from private developers for eligible electricity generating resources to secure cost-effective zero carbon resources, specifically Class I, emission-free, renewable energy sources.
