Question: Is there a nameplate size limit for each submitted project?

Answer: Per Section 5.4 of the RFP documents, the minimum size for any resource proposed through this RFP process is at least 20 MW-AC (nameplate).  This is the threshold defined by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation ("NERC") for being considered part of the Bulk Electric System ("BES"). 

Per Section 6.1 of the RFP documents, demand response proposals must represent at least 10 MW of resource(s).

While each of the two Products (Product 1 - black start capacity, Product 2 - annual capacity) sought through the RFP has a target value (as defined in Section 2.2 of the RFP), each Product may be fulfilled by one resource, or by a number of resources in the aggregate.
