We're excited to share that Cody Davis, Senior Engineering Manager - Distribution Planning, and Julieta Giraldez, Director - Integrated Grid Planning, recently participated as reviewers for Berkeley Lab's interactive Integrated Distribution System Plan (IDSP) framework. What is IDSP? Integrated Distribution System Planning (IDSP) is a comprehensive approach designed to meet customer service expectations while achieving state and utility objectives for grid planning and design. It tackles critical aspects such as: • Grid reliability • Resilience • Safety • Operational efficiency • Integration and utilization of distributed energy resources (DERs) This framework also includes a grid modernization roadmap and offers education, training, and technical assistance for public utility commissions, state energy offices, utility consumer advocates, and other state decision-makers. Why is this important? As we move towards a more sustainable energy future, the transformation of the electric distribution system becomes crucial. With new technologies like rooftop solar, battery storage, smart thermostats, and electric vehicles, the grid's evolution is evident. To ensure reliable operations, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) collaborates with states and the electric utility industry to develop guidelines and best practices for distribution system investments. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting topic! #Energy #GridModernization #Sustainability #IntegratedDistributionPlanning #RenewableEnergy #EPE

🔌 Navigating New PUC Rules: Understanding §25.8 for Utilities and §25.504 for Generators 🔌 Keeping up with regulations in the energy world can be daunting but understanding them is crucial for compliance and operational efficiency. The Public Utility Commission of Texas has rolled out two crucial rules – §25.8 and §25.504 – that utilities and power generators need to know about. These new regulations set the stage for how violations are classified and penalized, and they introduce measures to ensure fair play in Texas’s electricity market. Stay tuned as we break down what these rules mean for your business and how to stay compliant. #EnergyRegulation #UtilityCompliance #PURA #PUC #EnergyPolicy #Sustainability
