AI Bid Discovery Agent · Renewable Energy Developers and EPCs

AI Bid Discovery Agent for Solar, Wind, and Storage Developers and EPCs

The system monitors every channel renewable solicitations post on, Wood Mackenzie Supply Chain (formerly PowerAdvocate), NYSERDA and the state energy agencies, the investor owned utility RFP pages, the public power and joint powers agencies, and the integrated resource plan filings that signal an RFP before it drops. It reads each RFP, scores fit against your technology, your MW range, your markets, and your interconnection position from 0 to 100, extracts the MW and MWh, the commercial operation date, the PPA or REC structure, the eligibility rules, and the deadline, and sends one daily digest. It runs as one system tuned to what you build, from utility scale solar and standalone storage to wind, community solar, and federal and corporate offtake.

The problem

Renewable solicitations are scattered across utility RFP platforms, state agencies, and resource plan filings, and the ones that decide your year are often emailed to a list and never indexed.

A solar, wind, or storage developer responds to investor owned utilities, public power and joint powers agencies, state energy authorities, and corporate offtakers, and each posts on its own platform, in its own format, on its own schedule. The terms that decide the bid, the MW and MWh, the commercial operation date, the PPA or REC structure, the eligibility and interconnection rules, sit deep in a hundred page document, not the title. Here is the gap.

Many

One platform per utility, each different

Wood Mackenzie Supply Chain runs the RFx events for some utilities, NYSERDA and the state agencies run their own, and Duke, Xcel, PG and E, Dominion, and APS each maintain a separate RFP page on a separate schedule. No team refreshes them all every morning.

Off Portal

Emailed to a list, not indexed

Utilities often run renewable solicitations outside the procurement portal and post them without search visibility, so they reach an internal list or sit on a page no search engine ranks. The ones you never see are the ones you never bid.

100+ pg

Found too late to bid

A renewable RFP reads like a regulatory filing, and by the time a developer finds it and reads it, the window to prepare a competitive proposal can be gone. Missing the timing is missing the bid.

Written reasoning the origination team receives

"Strong pursuit candidate. An all source RFP from a Southwest investor owned utility for 200 MW of solar paired with 800 MWh of storage, run as an RFx event on Wood Mackenzie Supply Chain, an exact match to your technology and MW range, with the 20 year PPA you offer and an advanced interconnection position in the market. Flag for the team: the Intent to Bid and confidentiality agreement deadline, the 2028 commercial operation date against your interconnection timeline, the ITC safe harbor and domestic content terms that move the price, and the site control and readiness evidence the utility now requires. Confirm the queue position and submit the Intent to Bid before the 14 Aug deadline."

The agent classifies every solicitation first. A NYSERDA Tier 1 REC scored 89 as a state REC pursuit scored against the benchmark levelized net REC cost; a Carolinas solar plus storage RFP scored 84 across its utility ownership and PPA tracks; an offshore wind lease scored 30 because the technology is outside your profile; a 5 MW community solar scored 28 because it is below your minimum project size. Each is scored against your technology, MW range, markets, and interconnection position, so the digest carries only the work that fits what you build.

How it works

Three steps between the platforms and your origination team

No new software for your team to learn. The system runs in the background and delivers to email.

📡

Step 1

Pull every new renewable solicitation

Each morning the system queries the channels you bid into, Wood Mackenzie Supply Chain and the individual utility RFP pages, NYSERDA and the state energy agencies, the public power and joint powers agencies, and the resource plan filings, collecting every solar, wind, and storage solicitation posted since the last run.

→

⚙️

Step 2

n8n routes it, the AI classifies and scores each one

An n8n workflow normalizes the feeds and sends each RFP through an AI pass that classifies the technology and offtake type and extracts the MW and MWh, the commercial operation date, the PPA or REC structure, the eligibility and interconnection requirements, and the deadline, then scores fit against your technology, MW range, markets, and interconnection position with written reasoning.

→

📧

Step 3

Qualified solicitations arrive at 6 AM

Solicitations that clear your profile land in a ranked daily digest, each tagged by technology and offtake type, with the extracted terms and the AI's reasoning. The full reviewed log rides along as the audit trail, and deadline and Intent to Bid reminders fire as dates approach.

What it reads

It reads the full RFP, not just the title

Across every channel, the terms that decide a renewable bid live in the RFP and the attachments, not the title. The agent reads all of it, classifies the technology and offtake type, and pulls the facts your team needs onto one screen, whatever you build.

Specs

Capacity and configuration

MW at the point of interconnection, MWh and duration for storage, AC and DC ratings, and whether solar is paired with storage.

COD

Commercial operation date

The online date the buyer requires, read against your interconnection and permitting timeline.

Structure

PPA, REC, or acquisition

Whether the buyer wants a power purchase agreement, renewable energy certificates, or to acquire the project outright.

Eligibility

Tax credit and content rules

Investment and production tax credit qualification, safe harbor, and domestic content terms that move the bid price.

Queue

Interconnection and readiness

The interconnection position and the site control, permitting, and financial readiness evidence buyers now require.

Deadlines

Intent to Bid and bid date

The Intent to Bid form, the confidentiality agreement, the questions window, and the bid date a responsive proposal must meet.

Signals it flags

The terms it surfaces before you commit to a proposal

Each of these can decide eligibility or move the price, and each is written into the documents rather than the title. The agent extracts them on every qualified solicitation so the go or no go is made before the work starts.

Tech

Technology and offtake

Solar, storage, solar plus storage, or wind, and whether the buyer wants a PPA, RECs, or to acquire the project.

Size

MW and MWh

Nameplate at the point of interconnection and storage energy and duration a responsive bid must meet.

COD

Commercial operation date

The required online date against your interconnection and construction timeline.

Eligibility

Tax credit and content

ITC and PTC qualification, safe harbor, and the domestic content terms that decide the delivered price.

Queue

Interconnection readiness

The queue position and the site control, permitting, and financial readiness the buyer scores.

Basis

Evaluation method

Lowest price, best value, or a benchmark such as the levelized net REC cost the bid is measured against.

Platform

Where to respond

Whether the response goes through Wood Mackenzie Supply Chain, a state agency portal, or the utility's own page.

Tracks

Ownership vs PPA

Whether the RFP splits into a utility ownership track and a third party PPA track, each scored differently.

Deadlines

Intent to Bid and bid date

The Intent to Bid, the confidentiality agreement, the questions window, and the bid date.

Sources monitored

Every channel renewable solicitations post on, watched every business day

The agent connects only to the channels a developer is eligible to bid into, within each one's terms. Coverage spans the utility platforms, the state agencies, public power, and the resource plan filings that signal what is coming.

WoodMac

Utility RFx platform

Wood Mackenzie Supply Chain, the platform formerly PowerAdvocate, where utilities such as APS, SRP, Duke, and PSEG run RFx bid events. Suppliers register and respond at poweradvocate.com.

NYSERDA

State energy agencies

NYSERDA and the state authorities that run renewable standard solicitations, often a two step eligibility then bid scored against a benchmark net REC cost.

Utility RFP

Each utility, each schedule

Duke, Xcel, PG and E, Dominion, APS, and PacifiCorp each maintain a separate RFP page in its own format and on its own schedule.

Public Power

JPAs and CCAs

Joint powers agencies such as SCPPA and NCPA and the community choice aggregators that issue their own solicitations independent of the incumbent utility.

IRP Filings

The signal before the RFP

The integrated resource plans filed at the public utility commission that name the capacity a utility will solicit next, so you can prepare ahead of the RFP.

Lists

Where the rest surface

The industry lists, consultant postings, and aggregators that catch the solicitations posted off portal and never indexed.

The channels, in plain terms

Where renewable solicitations actually post

Renewable offtake does not post in one place. Each channel below carries a different kind of solicitation, on its own platform and schedule. The discovery agent monitors the ones a given developer is eligible to bid into, reads each RFP in full, and scores it. The named platforms and agencies are referenced for identification only.

Channel	What it carries
Wood Mackenzie Supply Chain (formerly PowerAdvocate)	Utility RFx bid events, where developers register, download the RFx from the Bid tab, and submit through the platform. Used by utilities including APS, SRP, Duke, and PSEG.
State energy agencies (NYSERDA and peers)	Renewable standard and REC solicitations, often a two step eligibility application then a bid proposal scored against a benchmark net REC cost.
Investor owned utility RFP pages	Each utility runs its own page on its own schedule, sometimes split into a utility ownership track and a third party PPA track.
Public power and joint powers agencies	SCPPA, NCPA, municipal utilities, and community choice aggregators issuing solicitations independent of the incumbent utility.
Integrated resource plan filings	The plans filed at the public utility commission that name the capacity a utility will solicit next, visible before the RFP drops.

Questions developers ask

Renewable bid discovery, answered

It is automated monitoring of the channels where solar, wind, and storage offtake is solicited. The system pulls every new solicitation, uses AI to read the full RFP, classifies the technology and offtake type, scores it against the developer's technology, MW range, markets, and interconnection position, and delivers the qualified ones in a ranked daily digest. The team decides which to pursue.

Wood Mackenzie Supply Chain, the utility RFx platform formerly known as PowerAdvocate, the state energy agencies such as NYSERDA, the individual investor owned utility RFP pages like Duke, Xcel, PG and E, Dominion, and APS, the public power and joint powers agencies such as SCPPA and NCPA, and the integrated resource plan filings that signal upcoming solicitations. It connects only to the channels the developer is eligible to bid into, within each one's terms.

Utilities often run renewable solicitations outside the procurement portal and post them without search visibility, so they reach an internal list or a page no search engine ranks. The agent watches the channels directly rather than relying on search, which is how off portal solicitations get caught. A truly private RFP that is only emailed to a shortlist is handled by the bid response agent once it lands, not by discovery.

Each solicitation is classified to its technology and offtake type and scored on weighted factors against the developer profile: technology match, MW range, market and footprint, offtake structure, and interconnection position. The factors produce a score from 0 to 100 with written reasoning, tuned to how the developer selects work, so the digest carries only the solicitations that fit.

Yes. For storage it extracts the MW, the MWh, and the duration, and whether the request is standalone storage or storage paired with solar, along with any energy storage system specifications attached to the RFP. Storage and solar plus storage are classified and scored separately from solar only, because they are different pursuits.

An interconnection queue is where a project requests grid access, not where RFPs are published, so the agent does not treat it as a discovery source. It uses interconnection position as a scoring and eligibility factor, because buyers increasingly require site control, permitting, and financial readiness evidence, and a project's queue position and commercial operation date have to line up with what the RFP demands.

Yes. State renewable standard solicitations such as the NYSERDA Tier 1 RFP often run as a two step process, an eligibility application followed by a bid proposal, and are evaluated against a benchmark net REC cost. The agent flags the eligibility step, the benchmark basis, and both deadlines so a developer does not miss the qualifying window.

Yes. A developer chasing offtake, an EPC bidding construction scope, and a supplier selling modules, inverters, or battery systems pursue different solicitations. The same scan serves any of them, and the profile decides what qualifies, so what one screens out is exactly what another pursues.

The digest carries the extracted terms and the reasoning for each qualified solicitation, tagged by technology and offtake type, and the origination team decides which to pursue. A reply opens a bid folder, Intent to Bid and deadline reminders fire as dates approach, and a separate bid response agent reads the full package to build the proposal. The agent surfaces and organizes the work; the developer makes every bid decision.

Actual results depend on a developer's own eligibility, registrations, interconnection position, and each platform's access rules, and any real system is subject to technical, legal, and contractual limitations.
