How to Assure Grid Stability While Tapping Third-Party Energy Sources The California Public Utilities Commission approved a pilot program in December that incentivizes utilities to use more distributed energy resources. These resources are defined as renewable generation sources, energy efficiency, energy storage, electr ...
Third Party Energy Resources Are The Future Of The Electric Grid Electric utilities in California make money from investments for traditional infrastructure, such as power lines, poles, and wires. However, this is based on an outdated regulatory model focused on increasing electricity access. Utilities are motivated to build more of such infrastructure to make a profit, but such traditional investments can conflict with the public interest of building an affordable grid. The California Public Utilities Commission aims to change this with a new pilot program, approved in December, which will provide a financial incentive to utilities for adopting third party energy resources.
