DERs in Wholesale Markets and on the Distribution Network: What Needs to Happen?

Posted by Webinar on Mar 8, 2022 5:49:59 PM

Recorded on March 8, 2022

FERC Order 2222 directed regional grid operators to open their wholesale markets to distributed energy resources (DERs) but that will take more than action by RTOs/ISOs. Distribution utilities and their state regulators also have big roles to play in realizing all the benefits of distributed resources for customers and the power grid. In this webinar, which drew on FERC Order No 2222 Implementation: Preparing the Distribution System for DER Participation in Wholesale Markets, a report from AEE and GridLab, utility executives and DER companies explored what needs to happen locally to unlock the value of DERs at the grid edge.

Presented by AEE, GridLab, National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), and the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO).

One year has passed since FERC issued the long-awaited Order No. 2222, opening up wholesale energy markets operated by RTOs/ISOs to aggregations of distributed energy resources (DERs). Now RTOs/ISOs across the country are creating market rules to comply with Order No. 2222 and unleash the value of these resources. Hear from a panel of industry leaders as they discuss real-world examples of actual DER aggregation projects that advanced energy businesses hope to pursue for customers in the near term and highlight key issues confronting RTOs/ISOs and stakeholders as they prepare to put Order No. 2222 into action.

FERC Order No. 2222: Opening the Door to DERs in Wholesale Markets

Posted by Webinar on Nov 12, 2020 10:31:00 AM

Recorded on November 12, 2020

In its landmark Order No. 2222, FERC requires all Regional Transmission Organizations and Independent System Operators (RTOs/ISOs) to remove barriers to wholesale market participation by aggregated distributed energy resources (DERs). This means that DERs – including distributed solar, energy storage, energy efficiency, electric vehicles, demand response, and more – will be able to bid into wholesale energy, ancillary services, and capacity markets according to their technical capabilities.
