The California Energy Commission is seeking an experienced, full-service Contractor team composed of a Contractor and Subcontractors to provide technical assistance on the recent CEC Demand Scenarios Project. This project focuses on developing demand scenarios and conducting assessments that provide objective, independent information vital to setting or periodically reassessing California's energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals.
The demand scenarios and their assessments serve as critical inputs for understanding how achievable California's energy and environmental goals may be. These scenario assessments provide insights into the relative difficulty of achieving established goals and help identify potential incentives or programs needed to target customers and industries that may not adapt through market forces alone.
The successful contractor team will be responsible for developing comprehensive demand scenario analyses that inform California's long-term energy planning and climate policy objectives. The work requires demonstrating expertise in energy demand forecasting, scenario development methodologies, and assessment of pathways to meet the state's ambitious energy and emissions reduction targets.
