Webinar: Operationalizing DER Flexibility – An Introduction to Local Flexibility Markets, the UK DSO Model, and What This Means for US Utilities
As electrification accelerates and US policy and legislation encourage smarter grid use, distributed energy resources (DERs) are emerging as the key to unlocking a faster, more affordable, and resilient energy future. The challenge US utilities face is how to operationalize and scale the use of DER’s – breaking down traditional utility silos and building a more integrated approach to grid planning and operations so that DERs become part of business as usual.In the webinar, you’ll learn:• How Electron enables network utilities to scale DER flexibility using local flexibility markets• How ENWL, a UK DSO, 4x’d their flexibility volume with Electron and brought DER’s into the control room• What US utilities can learn, and how to turn these insights into action through integrated planning and value of DER’sFeatured Speakers: Chris Broadhurst, Chief Commercial Officer, Electron; Paul George, DSO Commercial Lead, Electricity North West; Julieta Giraldez, Director of Integrated Planning, Electric Power Engineers; Robbie Astrop, Business Development Manager, Electric Power Engineers.
