Hawaii Gov. Green decided against his initial plans to veto and signed a bill into law to expand its residential solar-plus-storage buildout.
The final, third part of this series explores how DERs and Virtual Power Plants are participating in today’s energy markets—including a close look at ISO/RTO-specific programs, qualification requirements, and market rules. We examine how these policies and procedures affect the real-world ability of aggregated DERs to operate as grid resources and the complexity stakeholders face when navigating these systems.
Part Two of this three-part series shifts focus from regulatory reform to the technological breakthroughs that make DER participation possible. From the falling cost of microprocessors to the rise of advanced metering infrastructure and predictive analytics, we explore how data, telemetry, and intelligent control systems have become the backbone of the distributed energy economy.
The evolution of energy markets from vertically integrated utilities to open access competitive markets has created a power grid increasingly integrating smaller and more diverse distributed energy resources requiring robust interaction for integration and management.
The Pew Charitable Trust held a two-day meeting in San Antonio where state lawmakers met to learn about distributed energy resources and discuss policies can help meet rising energy demands.
Electric utility ComEd and its parent company Exelon spoke in a keynote session at the Midwest Solar Expo about why, as utilities, they want growth in the community solar and rooftop solar markets.
The leading state for residential solar-plus-storage systems passed a bill to further increase its rooftop solar and battery storage installations.
Virginia Gov. Youngkin signed off on a law for Dominion Energy to create a virtual power plant pilot program and to tap energy stored in idled school buses’ batteries.
The partnership will support the development of new long-term programs to meet the California Energy Commission’s load-shifting goals.
The 350Squared plug-and-play power bank requires no trenching and includes AI-powered forecasting with a bi-directional electricity meter, and two ultra-fast charging ports.
