Collaborating to Advance Distributed Energy Resources (Room 113)

Hear from four different utility executives on what they are doing with regard to planning and operating distributed energy resources onto their grids.   This panel will bring perspective from policy, operations, IT and strategic viewpoints.  Distributed Energy Resources impact how a utility performs their operations from planning to operations and to customer engagement. These innovative utilities will share information regarding their programs with a focus on distribution. This information includes how the organization aligns, how communications have been key with lessons learned, how collaboration with the industry was sought and how the utility is charting their course. Each executive will also represent the regional view of the activity and policy climate.
