From the meeting
Grant PUD's October 13, 2026 energy supply and markets update listed a Capacity Request for Proposal (RFP) in the near-term plan and a Priest Rapids Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) decision window. The same roadmap also called out geothermal test wells, advanced nuclear white paper work, and future resource adequacy actions. This is a live planning and procurement signal for power supply, storage, and generation advisory work.
The Commission was asked to stay engaged so it can act when the decision points arrive.

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 Grant PUD issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Grant PUD's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Grant PUD before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account unlocks this pre-RFP's source document, forecasted RFP timing, and verified Grant PUD decision-maker contacts.
