To be considered, an electronic copy of your proposal must be submitted by email to eiera@eiera.mo.gov and received by Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2025 at 3 p.m. local time.
The request seeks a contractor to perform quantitative modeling and analysis, economic analysis of future energy resource needs, drafting narrative text, developing a distributed energy resources study, including a value of solar study and producing final publication materials for a new Comprehensive State Energy Plan by July 1, 2026. The scope of work and other information is available in the Request for Proposals, located online at eiera.mo.gov.
The department’s Division of Energy has conducted state energy planning exercises since the 1990s, combining input from governmental, industry and community stakeholders with policy and economic analysis to plan for Missouri’s energy future. The division completed Missouri’s current Comprehensive State Energy Plan in 2015. A Comprehensive State Energy Plan will offer state and local leaders valuable insights into Missouri’s energy landscape that will guide efforts to bolster energy capacity in Missouri.
