From the meeting
At its October 21, 2026 meeting, the Task Force discussed utility-scale battery storage, distributed customer batteries, and a possible technology-neutral RFP. Brattle said a battery could help with localized voltage or frequency issues depending on inverter design, while chair Max Weiss noted that distributed resources provide full system value only if dispatchable during peak periods. Sai Shetty said he would forward information about companies that site and centrally operate customer-sited batteries.
The item remained discussion only.

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.
