ET23SWE0010 - Request for Ideas (RFI) 2023 Quarterly Webinars

The Program Team will hold quarterly meetings to inform Stakeholders about targeted Request for Ideas (RFIs) based on the CalNEXT Technology Priority Maps (TPMs). This set of RFIs are separate from any RFIs that might be disseminated as part of the Fast Track Process, but will positively impact portfolio needs and, stakeholder engagement. Public project and idea submissions will be evaluated quarterly and RFIs will be extended based on the needs of the Program portfolio. The RFI will be posted publicly on the CalNEXT website at least 1 month prior to the quarterly submission deadline. To further communication with stakeholders, the Program Team will supplement the online postings with quarterly RFI webinars that clarify each RFI, describe RFI opportunities and considerations, and allow a space for stakeholders to ask questions before the quarterly external submission deadline. Each webinar will provide a call to action for external project submissions.
