New Braunfels Utilities needs a Qualified Scheduling Entity (QSE) to manage its subordinate QSE registration and Congestion Revenue Rights (CRR) account. The selected firm will handle ancillary services, communications, scheduling, and settlements, with NBU managing its own energy acquisition and bids.
New Braunfels Utilities (“NBU”) is soliciting Request for Proposals (“RFPs”) from firms who provide Qualified Scheduling Entity (“QSE”) services (the “Services” or “QSE Services”). The requested QSE Services are intended to meet NBU’s requirements as set forth in Section II, Scope of Work, and as defined within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (“ERCOT”) Nodal Protocols. It is the intent of NBU to select a full-service QSE (the “selected QSE” or “successful respondent”) to register NBU as a Subordinate QSE. The selected QSE will also manage the NBU Congestion Revenue Rights (“CRR”) account. NBU intends to manage all of its own energy supply acquisition, energy schedule management, and CRR bids, as well as provide the associated collateral for the bids. The selected QSE will manage acquisition of all ancillary services, communication and scheduling processes, as well as settlements for the NBU subordinate QSE. The selected QSE will place all bids and collateral registration in the NBU CRR account.

PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in Texas so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.
To submit a bid for this solicitation, review the full solicitation documents for New Braunfels Utilities's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit. Responses must be received before the July 17, 2026 deadline — public agencies routinely reject late submissions regardless of cause.
