WORKING SESSION | July 7th WEBINAR | July 21st

lower customer costs with innovative solutions

What could the industry achieve if we
utilize existing infrastructure,
find a common vision
quickly, flexibly, deploy?

Increases in extreme events, like storms and other extreme weather, largely result in failures on the distribution system. Potential failure points are too numerous and, in some respects, too inherent to the existing grid to be eliminated at a reasonable cost. Customer investments in behind-the-meter resources means loading patterns are changing rapidly and even bi-directional. Generation and storage technologies are increasingly modular and provide an array of tailorable 

front-of-meter alternatives to wires investments.

CONTEXT

Disconnects between the vision of a secure and sustainable energy future and the realities of existing infrastructure risk leading us towards an unworkable energy transition. New generation technologies and a shifting fuel mix are fundamentally changing the grid’s planning and operations paradigm. The real-world cost-effectiveness of generation supply options is difficult to understand. While the industry invests heavily in bulk grid development, customers face the most significant consequences of failures downstream. 

LEADING THE CONVERSATION

The Delivery to Utilities session of the GRIDIRON Dialogues, co-hosted by American Clean Power, will examine the risks, benefits, and costs of various grid transformation strategies, focusing on their impact on electricity service, rates, and overall grid resilience.

CROSS-FUNCTIONAL DISRUPTORS ARE ALREADY BREAKING DOWN TRADITIONAL GRID SILOS.

1/6

New materials and battery storage will be deployed at massive scale in the future grid. A true grid empowers us to shift and manage our electricity use, reducing everyone's cost.
