California’s Future Grid Study will address two questions posed by the California Public Utilities Commission:
- What are the operational needs necessary to efficiently operate a high DER grid, unlock economic opportunities for DERs to provide grid services, limit market power, reduce ratepayer costs, increase equity, support grid resiliency, and meet State policy objectives?
- What are the existing gaps and barriers in achieving the needs identified above within our current Distribution System Operator (Utilities)? What are the potential solutions in overcoming these barriers?
Gridworks serves as lead facilitator of an open stakeholder process to answer these questions collaboratively.
