Question: For DEP’s 100 MW BESS procurement (assumed ~50 MW ESSA and ~50 MW UOT), how is the 50% sponsor cap applied? Specifically, is the cap calculated at the total DEP award level (i.e., 50 MW across both ESSA and UOT), or separately within each track (i.e., up to 25 MW in ESSA and 25 MW in UOT)?

Answer: The 2026 SC Battery RFP intends for the 50% market breadth requirement to apply across the procurement total and not per track or per balancing authority area.
