Advanced Energy United Webinars

There have been a lot of discussions around the country of late about the regulatory changes needed to create a 21st century electricity system. New regulatory approaches and utility business models are needed to integrate higher levels of distributed energy resources, take advantage of new technologies, meet environmental goals, and address changing customer needs and expectations. In an industry that has been slow to change historically, there is a lot at stake for utilities, advanced energy companies, and consumers.  In order to understand what transformations are needed, it’s first necessary to understand how electric utilities make money today.

This webinar discusses two recent New York Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) filings on the value of Distributed Energy Resources (DER).  One focuses on the alignment achieved between several solar companies and New York utilities (the Solar Progress Partnership) on the Successor to Net Energy Metering, and the other provides an overview of AEE Institutes’ value of DER filing. We will also provide highlights about AEE Institute’s recent filing on DER in California.

In this webinar we explore the grid modernization and utility regulation proceedings in public utility commissions across the country that are sending signals to advanced energy markets - and to Wall Street.

Advanced Energy Economy Institute (AEEI) is engaging executives of utility companies, advanced energy companies, and regulators in discussions to identify new business and regulatory models that encourage the adoption of advanced energy technologies in the power sector.

The overarching theme that has emerged is that of utility business and regulatory model changes necessary to accelerate innovation and advanced energy deployment, in order to meet the multiple challenges facing the industry.

This webinar features AEE Business Council Member SolarCity's perspective on net energy metering.
