Great paper put out by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Great number on value of organized #DERS "Upgrading and better utilizing the existing system—including by leveraging demand-side resources—can defer and/or avoid some of the cost of rebuilding or adding new transmission and distribution infrastructure. If deployed at scale by 2030, VPPs are estimated to be able to serve 10-20% of peak demand, avoiding ~$10B in annual grid costs." https://lnkd.in/gPAD8R6S

The Grid Modernization Initiative is working across the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to create the modern grid of the future. We're excited about the launch of the new #presidential Federal-State Modern Grid Deployment Initiative, which will bring together states, federal entities, and power sector stakeholders to help drive grid adaptation quickly and cost-effectively to meet the challenges and opportunities that the power sector faces in the twenty-first century. Join the nation as we work together to deliver resilient, reliable, flexible, secure, sustainable, and affordable electricity as our energy needs grow. https://lnkd.in/e5EX8uaU

Outstanding report by Americans for a Clean Energy Grid (ACEG) “State Policies to Advance Transmission Modernization and Expansion” 2024. The report highlights three categories of state #policies to encourage deployment of Advanced Transmission Technologies: 1. Directing utilities and relevant state authorities to study #GETs and #highperformanceconductors in state-level planning or permitting processes. 2. Providing financial incentives or reducing financial risk for investments in #transmission modernization where such action is legally sufficient and sustainable. 3. Creating an environment that encourages the implementation of GETs and high-performance conductors. Many thanks to Christina Hayes and her team https://lnkd.in/eskTiN6a

What might be getting in the way of developing the infrastructure needed for U.S. clean energy goals? A new report from Resources for the Future lists siting and permitting delays, grid interconnection issues, and costly transmission development as major hurdles. Can smarter policies and better planning overcome these obstacles and accelerate the transition to clean energy? 💡Read more about this and other views on the #energytransition from Kathari.News Perspectives: https://lnkd.in/eJtg8Ae4
