Q: What will be the cadence of future procurements?

Please refer to the FAQ posted to the Energy Storage section of the IPA website.

This will be determined after the initial 2026 procurement has taken place. Timing of future procurements will necessarily follow timing outlined in CRGA which notes that procurements “shall be conducted in calendar years 2027 and 2028” in order to meet the 3,000 MW goal and that “the Agency shall conduct additional energy storage procurements in 2028, 2029, 2030” if, through the integrated resource planning process set to conclude in 2027, it is determined that more storage resources are needed beyond the 3,000 MW goal set by CRGA.
