Request for Proposals: Developing a Grid Services & Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) Compensation Method

MassCEC seeks applications from consultants or professionals to create a Massachusetts specific, statewide compensation mechanism for DERs providing services to the distribution grid. The work also includes the creation of an implementation roadmap with the objective of maximizing long-term DER adoption and participation. MassCEC is particularly interested in applicants with expertise in the valuation of services provided by DERs, program and market design, and stakeholder engagement. 

Enabling DERs to provide grid services is a key method for achieving MA net-zero goals efficiently and affordably. This work will be conducted in collaboration with the Massachusetts Electric Distribution Companies (“EDCs”), the Department of Energy Resources (“DOER”), and the Office of the Attorney General (“AGO”), and will draw on insight from a diverse group of stakeholders.  

Funding available is approximately $350,000 for this work. MassCEC is seeking applications through Wednesday, June 26, 2024. Send your application and any questions to grid@masscec.com.
