DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, seeks resource adequacy consultant services to support analysis and forecasting related to electric distribution, transmission, and generation resources. The selected consultant will conduct independent research and evaluate proprietary and non-proprietary information obtained from electric facilities and commission staff to develop input factors for resource adequacy forecast modeling.
The consultant will evaluate the methodologies, data, and assumptions used by electric distribution companies when preparing load forecasts submitted to the regional electric transmission organization. Services will also include independent analysis of generation resource retirements, including announced, economic, policy-induced, and end-of-life retirements, as well as modeling interzone energy transfers caused by resource deficiencies or economic considerations.
Reports will primarily support the Commission but may also be distributed to other policymakers and interested parties. Questions are due by October 14, 2026, and a pre-bid meeting is scheduled for the same date.
