Last year, California passed legislation addressing delays in customer connections to the utility distribution grid. Two CPUC studies found that managing DER development, including interconnection, could make a $30 billion difference in costs to upgrade the distribution grid. Technologies and strategies applied at DER interconnection (i.e. phased or flexible interconnection, automated load management, on-site DERs, and others) provide an opportunity to improve grid connection timelines and reduce costs. This session will explore ways California's distribution grid can be improved via mitigated interconnection.
