Description (excerpt):

Key Takeaways:

  • Unrestricted utility ownership of distributed energy resources (DERs) creates the potential for utilities to gain unfair advantage over third-party service providers
  • The New York Public Service Commission’s Reforming the Energy Vision proceeding aims to mitigate utilities market power as the distributed system platform provider by limiting participation in distributed energy resource markets
  • Limited utility participation will support third-party development of grid-integrated storage and other grid technologies, which will facilitate DER growth and reliable system operation
