PJM – EMERGENCY LOAD RESPONSE PROGRAM

Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (RWSA) is seeking proposals from qualified Curtailment Service Providers (CSPs) to manage and optimize RWSA’s participation in PJM Interconnection’s Emergency Load Response Program (ELRP). PJM’s ELRP is a demand response program designed to compensate end-use customers for voluntarily reducing electricity consumption during grid emergencies, helping to maintain grid reliability and prevent blackouts.  The program offers opportunities for participants to earn revenue through capacity payments (for availability) and energy payments (for actual performance during events).

Proposals will be received by the Authority by Friday, January 30, 2026 at 3:00 PM. Proposals may be either mailed, hand delivered, express mailed to 695 Moores Creek Lane, Charlottesville, VA  22902-9016, Attention: Procurement or submitted on the eVA website.

A more detailed description of the project and general requirements can be obtained on the eVA website, https://eva.virginia.gov/index.html and reference eVA # RFP-110974 or RFP 26-01 PJM Emergency Load Response Program.
