In response to the COVID crisis, and the resulting health and economic impacts on our community, SVCE has committed $10M to a suite of customer relief and community resilience programs. These programs aim to support economic recovery and increase community resilience while supporting SVCE’s mission of decarbonization. Half of this relief fund will be invested in community resilience, supporting both planning efforts and infrastructure development. These investments will help local jurisdictions improve community resilience during power outages from PSPS events and other causes such as earthquakes, flooding, extreme heat, etc. In addition, the program will support local clean energy jobs and regional decarbonization.

This RFP is focused on the planning component and is organized into the following four tasks:

Task A. Develop Regional Energy Resilience Plan
Task B. Define, Identify, Assess Critical Community Facilities
Task C. Provide Education and Technical Assistance
Task D. Member Agency Resilience Planning, Feasibility Assessment, and Communication Projects
