WHAT: The CPUC will hold a virtual workshop to: 1) Provide foundational education to stakeholders on distribution planning and grid operations topics to support meaningful engagement and participation in the High DER Grid Planning proceeding, R.21-06-017; and, 2) Present new and existing plans for community engagement. The California Energy Commission is coordinating with the CPUC on DER outreach efforts, including this workshop. As part of the proceeding, the CPUC will develop a Future Grid Study designed to address the questions:
- How do alternative Distribution System Operator models compare in their ability to plan and 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?
- Should California’s investor-owned utilities be incentivized to cost-effectively prepare for widespread DER deployments? If so, how?
Members of the public can make their voice heard in this proceeding, and read the comments of others, on our online Docket Card comment section at apps.cpuc.ca.gov/c/R2106017 and at https://gridworks.org/initiatives/california-future-grid-study.
