### Description

EPCOR is seeking a proponent to develop a transmission-specific operator training program for its new Energy Management System (EMS), implemented alongside the Schneider Electric ADMS v3.11 upgrade. The work includes foundational EMS training for operator qualification and advanced training on EMS analytical applications, plus related operational workflows, procedures, and supporting documentation for EPCOR’s System Control Centre. Deliverables must be developed using available design documents, specifications, use cases, playpen access, and implementation experience because the EMS will not be fully operational during development. The anticipated work period is November 2, 2026, through March 29, 2027; RFP documents require an NDA to access.
