Smart building design can play a central role in California’s drive to decarbonize, according to a panel convened by the Energy Commission.

CAISO presented its final proposal of its effort to make it easier for energy storage and distributed energy resources to participate in markets.

ERCOT CEO Bill Magness told the board that load has begun to return to pre-COVID-19 levels, as evidenced by energy usage in June and July.

Experts said it’s mostly policy, not technology, holding back widespread adoption of distributed energy resources supported by smart tech.

A representative of the Australian Energy Market Operator provided NERC with insights on Australia's high penetration of DERs, especially rooftop solar.

If one business consultant’s vision proves correct, MISO stakeholders learned, future neighborhoods will be self-contained developments with their own power sources.

FERC rejected a request by a purported ratepayer group that could have ended net metering for rooftop solar generation.

The PJM MIC endorsed the sunsetting of a longstanding subcommittee on intermittent resources and accepted the charter of a new committee.

California is moving to adopt microgrids to store wind and solar energy and to provide electricity during public safety power shutoffs in wildfire season.

MISO temporarily backed off requiring load-serving entities to provide the location and capacity values of distributed energy resources for planning models.
