Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK:
Manitoba Hydro is issuing this Request to seek the submission of competitive Proposals for consulting services related to Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) on an 'as and when requested' basis for a five year term. At present, Manitoba Hydro requires the development of a Business Case for AMI.

Manitoba Hydro (MH) is investigating whether advanced metering infrastructure should be implemented for gas and electric service within Manitoba. MH wants to ensure AMI is in the best interest of its customers and the utility. With many other utilities within Canada and the US having already transitioned to AMI, MH is looking to leverage the experience gained in other jurisdictions to determine if AMI is a viable option for MH and its customers. MH is a forward-looking utility and wants to ensure it is well positioned to work in the best interests of its customers as the energy landscape of tomorrow evolves, both as a reliable supplier and a trusted energy advisor.

MH wants to revisit AMI now because it anticipates there could be a greater need for AMI as a result of the evolving energy landscape specifically as it relates to the three key drivers for change: digitalization, decarbonization and decentralization. MH is preparing for these external changes to remain relevant to our customers and responsive to their needs.
