Leveraging Storage, Distributed Generation, and Demand Response to Meet Growing Load
As utilities face rapid load growth, long generation development timelines, and increasing reliability challenges, many are looking to maximize the value of existing grid assets. This session explores how public power utilities can use battery energy storage systems (BESS), behind-the-meter and behind-the-wholesale-meter generation, customer backup generation, virtual power plants, and demand response to support reliability, resilience, and affordability.
