FERC Order 2222: Part 2 of 4 | Utility Panel Discussion

It’s been almost two years since FERC approved Order 2222 requiring RTOs & ISOs to figure out how to give DERs access to wholesale energy markets. Now, the first RTOs and ISOs are starting to review their regional plans. These discussions are prompting utilities to consider the implications of DER aggregation on their businesses, including the role of utilities in enabling local customer programs to aggregate DERs to provide load modifying grid services, or other system benefits, that can accrue to all customers. 

Three utilities with varying perspectives will share how they are planning for these policies in their territories. This session may be relevant for utilities currently formulating their plans, state regulators who are considering how the federal and regional policies influence their approach to tariffs and customer programs, plus service providers who may work directly with utilities or energy consumers, and venture capitalists wanting to understand the latest details of this evolving market opportunity.
