| For safety and reliability, utilities must shift focus to distributed energy resources |
|
|
| DISTRIBUTECH Advisory committee member, Rao Konidena argues in our lead story today that “to ensure safety and reliability, utility leaders should pay consumers to reduce consumption, embrace distributed energy resources in their resource planning, and make interconnecting rooftop solar and residential storage easier.” He explains that the recent energy outages that took place at the end of the year reflect poorly on utility forecasts and posits that proactive use of DER could solve many of these resiliency challenges. Please have a look at his most recent article below. Also, keep in mind that next week’s DISTRIBUTECH in San Diego has entire educational tracks dedicated to DER, Customer Engagement, Resiliency, Distribution Automation and a whole pre-conference summit on interconnecting DER. |
