From the meeting
At its August 4, 2026 panel, the Council heard that Seattle City Light plans to develop a comprehensive demand response portfolio to address electrification, extreme weather, and load growth. The utility is considering manual demand response, virtual power plant options, and price-based mechanisms. The work is still being shaped, which makes this a useful pre-RFP signal for customer engagement, flexibility platforms, and program design support.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Northwest Power and Conservation Council issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Northwest Power and Conservation Council's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
