SMUD contracted with IEC Corporation to conduct technical evaluations of proposals submitted in response to SMUD’s Renewables Request for Offers. The submittals proposed power purchase agreements and/or ownership options for SMUD. IEC evaluated the renewable proposals using a variety of evaluation criteria, assessed the likelihood of the projects being built, and generated a final ranking of the proposals to discuss with SMUD evaluators. This included compiling opinions on each project’s strengths and weaknesses; posing clarification questions, comments, and suggestions; and recommending next steps for negotiations.
