San Diego Community Power Hosts RFP Meeting for Clean Energy Procurement

The San Diego Community Power held a pre-proposal webinar on July 23, 2025, aimed at informing potential bidders about the upcoming Request for Proposals (RFP) for Load Forecasting and Scheduling Coordinator Services. The meeting was led by procurement analyst Crystal and Janine Camara, the director of portfolio management, who emphasized the importance of understanding the RFP requirements.

San Diego Community Power is a nonprofit public agency that provides clean energy at competitive rates to nearly one million customer accounts across several cities, including Chula Vista, Encinitas, and San Diego. The agency purchases electricity from renewable sources, while Southern California Gas and Electric (SCG&E) manages the delivery and grid infrastructure.

During the webinar, participants were reminded that engaging with the RFP signifies their acknowledgment of its terms and conditions. Crystal clarified that the RFP does not create any obligation for the agency to enter into agreements and that all proposals could be accepted or rejected at the agency's discretion. She urged potential bidders to carefully review the RFP document and ensure their submissions are complete.

Janine Camara will provide further details on the scope of work in a follow-up discussion, and attendees were encouraged to ask questions throughout the meeting, with the understanding that any necessary changes to the RFP would be communicated through official addendums. This meeting marks a significant step in the agency's efforts to enhance its services and engage with the community in sustainable energy solutions.
