From the meeting
At the September 10, 2026 meeting, the board approved permission to apply for an EGLE award for the BESS project. The minutes do not state that funding was awarded yet, so the work is still in the application stage. This is a live grant-funded energy/storage lead with a future procurement path if the application succeeds.

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.
