Summary
EECA seeks to establish a funding partnership with industry, called the Efficient Demand Flexibility initiative, to enable distributed flexibility in commercial and industrial sectors by supporting deployment of flexibility-enabling technologies behind the meter, such as battery storage, thermal storage, and interruptible load management. This RFP is for Project Owners or Intermediaries, applying for battery energy storage system (BESS) projects which shift or reduce their electricity consumption to balance supply and demand on site through onsite management and demand flexibility services to support local or national network infrastructure asset cost and utilisation efficiencies. Efficient Demand Flexibility aims to catalyse commercial and industrial flexibility uptake through co-funding from EECA towards project costs for flexibility-enabling technologies. EECA can commit up to approximately $10 million for Efficient Demand Flexibility in this RFP. A supplier briefing will be held on Monday 30 March 2026 at 11am - please use this link to register to attend this session - https://eeca.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_edxNw4VCS6iTQtMh-1UzGA
