Setting the Stage

» Many people/parties have different visions of the future grid– Changes afoot: Regional Expansion, Market/Product/Rate overhauls, new

planning approaches (DRPs, IRPs), and more. – Much change has already occurred

» Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) complexities/pathways being tackled– CPUC Proceedings– CAISO Initiatives– Policy ‘happenings’

» Distributed storage solutions are deploying and many technologies’ costs widely expected to continue downward

Opening Thought

Why worry about things you can change? Why worry about things you cannot change?

-Shantideva

Key Discussion Questions

» Are DERs truly a game-changer?

» Are there ‘trust-issues’ with DERs? If so, why? What to do?

» What should we think about ‘multiple use’ DERs, i.e. DERs providing value across jurisdictional ‘divides’?

» What win-win solutions can be pursued?

» What will the role(s) of DERs be in 2025?

» Any questions from the audience?
