How to Determine the Right Mix of DER Austin Energy is transitioning rapidly into a utility with significantly high levels of renewable resources. In 2015, only 20% of electricity supplied to customers came from renewable resources. By 2016, the number was 30%. As the utility approaches the tipping point of renewable resources being the majority … Continue reading How to Determine the Right Mix of DER
Winning in a more distributed energy world: 3 steps to utility success A billion-dollar retail opportunity awaits utilities that turn reluctant customers into partners. In the U.S. power system’s transformation, customers’ traditional dependence on utilities is increasingly becoming a utility dependence on customers. This reversal is driven by diminishing electricity sales caused in part by … Continue reading Winning in a more distributed energy world: 3 steps to utility success
California regulators approve measures to propel energy storage, DERs Several of the proposals approved by CAISO’s board on Wednesday were part of the third and final phase of the Energy Storage and Distributed Energy Resources (ESDER) initiative that stakeholders launched to foster greater participation of those resources in the wholesale market. The proposals remove one … Continue reading #California regulators approve measures to propel energy storage, DERs

Utilities, Grid Operators Tell FERC They Need Real-Time Data to Better Manage DERs Utilities and grid operators stressed the need for real-time information on distributed energy resources to a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission panel in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. FERC organized the conference to gather information on the challenges of integrating DERs into the wholesale … Continue reading #Utilities, #Grid_Operators Tell FERC They Need Real-Time Data to Better Manage DERs
MISO states push for authority over DER in electricity markets at FERC meeting FERC called the aggregated DER technical conference in February when it approved a separate order regarding how energy storage facilities. That order allowed large-scale storage in each regional electricity market to provide multiple services, but regulators could not settle on similar rules … Continue reading MISO states push for authority over DER in electricity markets at FERC meeting
How distributed energy resources contribute to a more resilient grid Recent extreme weather has prompted fresh thinking on the subject of grid resiliency. Part of the solution lies with the proliferation of distributed energy and how it can be harnessed for that purpose. Juan de Bedout, Chief Technology Officer of GE’s Grid Solutions business, spoke … Continue reading How distributed energy resources contribute to a more resilient grid
PG&E Must Solicit Energy Storage and DERs to Replace 3 Existing Gas Plants California regulators rejected an effort to award lucrative “must-run” status to three Calpine gas plants, calling for new energy storage and clean resources instead. The California Public Utilities Commission ruled Thursday to authorize PG&E to procure energy storage or preferred resources (such … Continue reading #PG_E Must Solicit Energy Storage and DERs to Replace 3 Existing Gas Plants
