Future Grid Study Workshop 3 (High DER Proceeding: R.21-06-017 Track 2)

May 1, 2024

On May 1, 2024, Gridworks facilitated the final of three workshops for the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC or Commission) 2024 Future Grid Study workshop series under Task 7 Track 2 of Rulemaking (R.) 21-06-017. Throughout this workshop series, Gridworks, a contractor supporting the Commission, facilitated conversations between utilities, stakeholders, and the CPUC on how to ensure additional distributed energy resources (DERs) installed provide maximum value to the grid through effective distribution system operations. This three-part series identified operational needs, assessed gaps and developed recommendations to address gaps, and provided an opportunity for parties to collaborate to modernize the electric grid for a high DER future. Each workshop in the series built upon the previous workshop to assist parties to develop their input on the rulemaking.
