RFP #344 - Grid Innovation Fund Third Party Evaluation Services

The Grid Innovation Fund (“GIF”) is a funding program, sponsored by the province of Ontario and administered by the IESO (Overview (ieso.ca)). The GIF advances innovative opportunities by funding projects that have the potential to achieve significant electricity savings for Ontario ratepayers, either by enabling greater competition in Ontario’s electricity markets, thereby reducing costs associated with maintaining the province’s grid, or by helping customers better manage their energy consumption. 

GIF governance requires that IESO procure a third-party Service Provider on a biennial basis to review and evaluate the GIF program. The intent of this RFP is to engage a Service Provider for GIF evaluation activities.
