We are providing consulting services to support a northeastern US utility with its FERC Order 2222 implementation.  Initially, Utilicast completed their FERC Order 2222 Current State Assessment and Roadmap to determine its preparation for PJM's FERC Order 2222 go live. Our FERC Order 2222 implementation consulting services will include process modeling, user story development, vendor selection for interconnection and market registration work streams, and settlement process impact analysis. FERC Order 2222 requires ISOs and RTOs in the U.S. to develop plans that give Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) access to wholesale energy markets. Each ISO and RTO has its FERC Order 2222 go-live. Please contact us if you need assistance with an assessment, roadmap, or implementation for FERC Order 2222 readiness with your respective ISO or RTO. #Utilicast #UtlicastSolutions #FERCOrder2222

Our fifth episode of 'Charging Ahead with Utilicast' is on Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM). The importance of having an ETRM capability has increased recently for smaller and medium-sized players. New entrants, volatile fuel prices, and market restructuring have increased the need for utilities and other organizations to track exposure and risk. Thankfully, these new complexities arrive at a time when ETRM solutions have expanded to include lower-cost options for smaller players. In this episode, Leonard Huxtable, our ETRM Solution Lead, will share his insights and experience with traditional and newer ETRM solutions, ETRM trends, and their impact on a utility's market entry or expansion.

Utilicast was selected by a large investor-owned utility (IOU) in the Western United States to support several data and automation projects to help the utility meet the deadline for FERC Order 881, implementing Ambient Adjusted Ratings (AAR).  Our commitment to FERC Order 881 compliance is ongoing.

The Utilicast Foundation, dedicated to uplifting communities, and 20 Utilicasters recently spent a transformative week installing solar panels for Back-to-Back, a nonprofit supporting local children in Monterrey, Mexico. This project not only reduces energy costs but also promotes sustainability. It empowers the organization to allocate more resources towards its mission of fostering a nurturing environment for youth, promising a brighter future for them. The collaboration highlights the power of renewable energy in creating lasting, positive impacts on underserved communities worldwide. Our mission at the Utilicast Foundation is to ensure that underprivileged youth have access to the resources they need to be successful. We do this by combining our technical expertise and funding to ensure that underserved communities have the technology and energy security needed to help the next generation thrive.
