RFP Software for Energy & Utilities

RFP software for energy and utilities automates the process of creating, distributing, and managing Request for Proposals for power procurement. It enables buyers to simultaneously solicit bids from multiple developers, standardize evaluation criteria, and compare tariffs and financial terms in real time — replacing manual, error-prone tender processes with structured, data-driven workflows.

Opten Power's tender engine lets buyers create RFPs using modular, pre-built templates tailored to energy procurement. Once published, the RFP is distributed to relevant developers on the platform. Responses are collected in a structured format, automatically evaluated against your criteria, and surfaced for comparison — enabling deal closure up to 50% faster than traditional procurement.

The platform supports three core models: Capex (full asset ownership with depreciation and tax benefits), Group-Capex (minimal equity investment with maximum ROI and wheeling charge exemptions), and Third-Party Open Access (zero upfront capital with flexible PPA terms). Each model is designed for different capital risk appetites and business sizes.

The platform is designed for commercial and industrial energy consumers including steel plants, cement manufacturers, data centres, IT parks, hospitals, hotels, warehouses, and commercial complexes. It also serves renewable developers listing projects, investors and financiers, and EPC companies — making it useful across the entire energy value chain.

Businesses using Corporate PPAs through Opten Power can cut energy costs by up to 40%. The Group-Capex model offers per-unit savings of ₹3–5 with high IRRs, while Third-Party Open Access is particularly effective for consumers on high grid tariffs of ₹10–15 per unit, delivering meaningful savings with zero capital investment.

Opten Power currently operates across 16 states in India, providing access to pre-vetted renewable projects with state-specific DISCOM intelligence. The platform delivers standardized, updated landing prices and regulatory analysis for each state, ensuring accurate cost comparisons and compliance-aware procurement decisions wherever your operations are located.

The platform delivers instant IRR calculations, payback period analysis, regulatory impact assessments, and real-time tariff comparisons across multiple developers. DISCOM intelligence provides standardized landing prices across all states, giving procurement teams a quantitative foundation for every decision — eliminating guesswork from one of the largest cost line items for industrial businesses.
